About Kendall Mayes....
Meet Your Educational Consultant...
Who Am I in The World of Education and Technology?
​
I come to you as resource with a diverse professional background, serving in many roles that emphasize teaching and instruction - and this is an experience that has illuminated my passion for and commitment to serving individuals through teaching and education. Simultaneous with this, my appreciation and aptitude for advancing technology has carved a path that demands the integration of innovative technology in all of my professional endeavors. This immersion has focused the light on the many applications of technology within educational contexts, which has surfaced my recognition of the immense power of combining education with technology and my commitment to leveraging this synergy as an educational service provider.​
​What I Will Bring To Match Your Objectives....
​
Education is intrinsic with life and is in progress in traditional schools, in domestic settings, on the job, and the list continues. While the general intent of education is that individuals will learn, there are times when the vehicle of instruction could be better tailored to deliver what is needed for individuals within a learning audience. And, this is where the beautiful combination of education and technology enters the room to elevate the learning experience. The strategic design of the learning environment begins with having an understanding of the learning audience and the learning objectives. From that point, educational design thinking shapes design building, and with the integration of innovative technology tools, along with assessment and evaluation, a customized learning environment is born - enabling a learning audience to soar!
​My professional experience, tech-savvy, passion for education, teaching, and instruction, along with a deepened and refined skill set provided through graduate coursework and LDT competencies from Purdue University, have established the substance of my qualifications. And, it is my goal to fulfill your educational project requirements with exceptional quality and expertise.
I look forward to bringing your project to fruition.
