  Dear Fellow Educator,

  My name is Lauren Voorhees, and I am writing this letter in order to seek information regarding your work in the Italian school system. The following questions have arisen due to my coursework as a graduate student. I am a 2011 graduate of East Carolina University,where I received a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Art Education. This past school year marked my fifth year as a middle school art teacher in a large school in Montgomery County, Maryland. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in the field of Instructional Technology in order to better serve my school and its diverse community.

  The current course I am enrolled in requires me to conduct an interview report with an expert from a chosen country, in my case Italy. In my opinion, your listed credentials make you an expert and I would enjoy learning more about your career and path as an educator. For more information on this assignment I have prepared a GoogleDoc for you Interview Report 2016.

  Inquiries:

  • What is your current position as an educator?

  • In Italy, at what age are students introduced to technology in the classroom?

  • Does Italian curriculum encourage educational technology?

  • Do you feel that educational technologies are being meaningfully incorporated into classrooms throughout Italian school systems?

  • Do you feel students and staff are motivated to use technology in the classroom?

  • Do you feel that teachers are receiving adequate professional development in order to authentically incorporate instructional technologies into their classroom?

  • What is the most important gain since the integration of technology in the classrooms?

  • What have been the most important gains in educational technology since you have begun teaching?

   

  Since this project has a due date I would need your response ideally by July 1st, 2016.

   

  Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response.

   

  Sincerely,

  Lauren G Voorhees
