Dr. Maureen Yoder

Dr. Maureen Brown Yoder has presented at FETC for many years. She has presented at conferences since educational technology was in its infancy, when the Apple 2 was state of the art, and a 300 baud modem was impressive. Dr. Yoder is a Professor Emerita at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A former classroom teacher, she has experience designing and teaching educational technology courses, and developing and directing one of the first fully online master’s degree programs for educators. Dr. Yoder coined the term “Electronic Constructivism” and has written extensively on emerging technologies and how to thoughtfully and creatively integrate them into existing curricula. Dr. Yoder wrote the “Buyer’s Guide” column for Learning and Leading With Technology magazine, along with several feature articles, and has been a blog contributor to ISTE’s EdTekHub. She presents at conferences internationally, nationally and locally. Her “Emerging Technologies” graduate class for in-service educators constantly evolved, focusing on innovative and promising technologies as well as strategies to promote creativity. Dr. Yoder received her doctorate from Boston University in Educational Media and Technology, her master’s degree in Computers in Education from Lesley University, and her bachelor¹s degree from George Washington University, in Washington, D.C.
