I have been a Bilingual educator for 17 years and work mostly with early elementary students.

During COVID I was the only remote teacher for my grade level and found interesting ways to help my students virtually.

One of the tools I used was power point and would love to try the new add on.

I have been a high school business and economics teacher for 14 years. I mostly taught juniors and seniors in high school. 

I transitioned to ID because I needed to create my own online business courses out of necessity, and I loved creating them.  I realized I loved ID more than teaching.

I would love to learn new technology, and I often use PowerPoint. I have heard great things about iSpring Suite and would love to explore its features.

About your current or former teaching experience (anything you feel like sharing)

I am currently an online Intervention Specialist at an online credit recovery high school in Ohio through Stride Learning Company (aka K12, Inc.) I support students who are 16-21 years old who are credit deficient and decided to return to the classroom to earn their high school diploma. 

Why do you want to transition to ID (or already have)?

I began my journey into Instructional Design 10 years ago when I was ready to transition out of the classroom and move into a different career path. I initially chose the instructional design, because I thought it could benefit my students who had difficulty following the traditional school curriculum. As I began to dig into instructional design and pursue a certificate in ID from Walden University, I began to understand that I could use this field to transition out of the classroom and into the field of Instructional Design. 

Ironically, my certificate in ID is what help land my job in the online school. I have been able to use my ID skills in the online school world and pursue my career in freelance Instructional Design. As time goes on, my desire to completely leave education becomes stronger and my love for ID continues to grow. 

Why would you like to get iSpring Suite 11?

I would like to learn the iSpring Suite and build a more diverse portfolio. I see many job opportunities out there that include iSpring as their authoring tool and I have no experience with it. 

In regard to my current position, I would love to design a module for my students to learn more about post-secondary education and employment opportunities. Many of my students are in non-traditional situations where they care for their children, work full-time, or cannot attend school during the traditional school day. 

One of my main goals is to not just help my students earn a diploma but also to help them have a concrete plan for after graduation. Using the iSpring Suite can allow me to create a module for them to access outside of the school day. This, in turn, makes my online time with them more productive and they can ask specific questions or seek specific resources they learned about in the post-secondary opportunities module. 

About your current or former teaching experience (anything you feel like sharing)
I am a CEIT graduate and I have lots of internships in computer teaching. Afterwards, I preferred adult education and worked in corporate companies in this field. I am currently designing distance learning for adults in the education department of a private company.

Why do you want to transition to ID (or already have)?
What I have learned and seen since the schools I graduated from fed me on learning and teaching. I like to be creative, group and transfer information, visualize and interacting.

Why would you like to get iSpring Suite 11?
I have never experienced it before, but when I examine the trainings, I believe that I can create impressive and different courses with the interactions that can be made with this tool, that the knowledge I try to convey in my courses will be transferred more easily and it will be very effective in increasing the permanence of the knowledge.

I taught in California public schools for 20+ years, mostly English and history, as well as English Language Development. Working with kids is amazing; you get to laugh and be creative everyday. As a 3rd generation teacher, I never imagined that I would fully step away, but had a nudge when my husband's employer moved us to Germany pre-pandemic. I was fortunate enough to find a position at an AI startup in Berlin, working with a former teacher as my boss

Woke I've had some incredible experiences, I'm always looking to build my portfolio and overall skillset—which is where iSpring 11 would come in!

Hello! After eight years wonderful years, I left my position in May as a secondary theatre educator. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time as an arts educator, I also knew it was time to begin seeking greater challenges in a more sustainable environment. After completing my master's degree in Education a month ago, I am eager to begin the transition into Instructional Design. A career in Learning and Development brings together two great passions of mine: curriculum and visual design. I am eager to utilize my past experience while continuing to upskill and learn about this new career field. One of the most challenging aspects of this career transition is learning about and investing in industry-standard software. While there are numerous resources available, having access to creative tools like iSpring allows for an immediate immersion into design tools necessary for creating projects and work for portfolios and future clients. Thank you for recognizing a sincere need and investing in the future of former teachers. This is truly appreciated!

Hi there. I'm a former classroom teacher. Currently I have a few contract jobs, both in K-12 and instructional design, so I've half-way transitioned. I'm working to make a complete transition to ID for many reasons, including flexibility and pay. It's also the perfect blend of my teaching and media studies background, and I love that it touches all industries, so there's always a lot to learn. That keeps things interesting. I'd be very happy to get iSpring Suite 11 because it's becoming more popular in the ID world (I've seen it listed in job descriptions). Knowing how to use it and having full access to it would be immensely helpful to obtaining that full-time ID position that I'm working toward. The features and functionalities of iSpring also sound like a great way to design and implement e-learning!
