  • In August 2023, Upper Elementary Spanish Teacher Deisy Pinto, who has been at Trinity since 2018, earned her Master of Education in Instructional Design and Technology as well as a Certificate in eLearning Design from the University of Georgia.  Deisy says, “Throughout the years in the classroom, I have found that the appropriate use of technology is an essential educational tool when learning a language, as long as it is guided and purposeful. The challenges of sudden remote education during the first year of COVID bolstered my desire to embark on a journey to enhance my abilities in the use of technology to create instructional materials. The knowledge I have acquired as an instructional designer relates to the principles I have been using in the classroom and enhances my skills as instructional design opens windows to other disciplines,” she continues. “As a language instructor with a vast experience in the classroom, instructional design led me to develop a deeper awareness and understanding of how the learner/target audience is approached and how the material is presented and evaluated.”
