Erika Arias
Master's Candidate in Educational Technology
Erika just began working with Reach Out! and the CUOS
K–12 Outreach program this fall. She comes with a desire to help
elementary teachers and children use technology to learn science. She
wants to help them access real-time information, simulate authentic
problems and solve them, and access the wealth of resources that are
available for learning, from earth science to biology to
chemistry.
Erika has picked up Web work quickly and become one of our most
productive coders, adding new lessons and activities, linking to math
and science tutorial and study resources, and updating and creating
Web pages for UM and Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis career
resources.
As she examines her research goals and objectives for upcoming
courses, Erika may find a niche with one of the Reach Out!
elementary sites, directly interacting with teachers and children.
She is also interested in providing Web workshops for community
members, teachers, and youngsters. As a new member of Reach
Out!, she brings some objectivity and new perspective into our
lives, and will no doubt become integrally involved with children as
she defines her passion and goals.
