Teaching and Learning with Multimedia

Posted by Kelly Norris on August 20, 2018 at 8:38 AM

Let’s face it. Teaching in the classroom has changed greatly over the past couple of years with the help of technology in the hands of our students and teachers. Fitchburg State University recognizes that teachers must have a pulse on what can be done in the classroom with the help of technology. This is why Fitchburg State now offers a course “Teaching and Learning with Multimedia”. Regardless of the device, there are many tools that can help students and teachers learn information, prove competency, as well as aide in the reflection process. These tools provide a space for students and teachers to tell their own story.

Our Faculty: Stephen Celona, Education Department

Posted by Kimberly McCoy-Blauser on July 25, 2018 at 10:34 AM

Are you interested in Fitchburg State's education programs? As part of the GCE blog's "Our Faculty" series, we introduce Teacher in Residence and Fitchburg State alum, Professor Stephen Celona.

When my undergraduate career began at Fitchburg State College in the fall of 1987, I don’t think I realized just how far my degree would take me.

After graduating in 1991 with a bachelor of science degree, I went on to serve many different roles in the field of education. Those roles have included many different teaching experiences, as well as administrative roles later on in my career.

Although I continued my education, completing my graduate degree elsewhere in 2001, I truly believe that it was my undergraduate time at Fitchburg State that instilled in me the content and strategies needed to be a knowledgeable, skillful, ethical, and caring educator.
