=Welcome to my EDTC 600 Introduction to Instructional Technology wiki page!=

My name is Donnell Bayot. I am the Associate Director of Student Affairs at The International School of Hospitality (TISOH, pronounced: TEE-so). TISOH is a short term hospitality management training school located in Las Vegas, NV. I am in charge of international program development, student services, alumni association, internship and mentorship programs, faculty development, and career services. I am also involved in academic planning and have developed and maintained programs on Blackboard and WebCT.

As for my personal life, I have a BS in Applied Psychology and a Certificate in Catholic Studies from Regis University. I grew up in Las Vegas but spent part of my life in Manila, Philippines and Denver, CO. I am the charter president of the Las Vegas New Century Lions Club, a community service organization for your professionals. I enjoy meeting people, developing new service activities, and educating individuals with service opportunities. I am fortunate to be living in Las Vegas, a food and beverage mecca. I love to eat and have allotted myself an allowance to try different restaurants in the valley.

I am pursuing a masters degree in Education, focusing on instructional technology, partly due to personal interest and partly because of its value to my work at TISOH. I also believe that technology in education still has a ways to grow and I expect that schools will continue to embrace new technologies at an increasingly rapid pace. This is a growing field and I want to be at the forefront. From my own education, I see a big change in how technology changed the way I learn. The efficiency is remarkable and I can hardly imagine what the next decades will bring.
