Testimonials

 

"Kathy Pinkowsky has fundamentally transformed my ability to teach my students. She not only teaches me how to use technology I need to solve today's problems, but she shows me options that will help me solve tomorrow's problems too. She works effectively with people of widely varying levels of technological skill. She has never made me feel stupid for asking a question, even when my questions are objectively pretty stupid. She is incredibly responsive, supportive, gracious, and organized. When she holds meetings or trainings, they are worth going to--words I don't use often. She is exceptional."

"Kathy Pinkowsky is an Instructional Technologist who is equally strong in her understanding of pedagogy as she is gifted in learning and teaching new technologies.  Kathy always begins her projects with effective student learning as the primary outcome, and then moves to incorporate into our curriculum the technology tools that support student learning.  After a work session with Kathy, I come away with greater technical skills, and better teaching strategies.  Tireless and generous, Kathy is a gem at Alverno College."
