an Assistant Professor of Practice with the Office of Instruction and Assessment, Phyllis Brodsky, M.Ed., supports faculty and future faculty in the successful integration of pedagogy with technology on behalf of student learning. With a B.S. in Rehabilitation
and an M.Ed. in Special Education, Phyllis began teaching children with severe and multiple disabilities in 1985. She was an adjunct instructor in the College of Education for 15 years in the area of severe and multiple disabilities, developed and implemented
K12 teacher training and certification programs in Southern Arizona, and was instrumental in the development of the UA program, Project FOCUS, designed to support students with intellectual disabilities in higher education. Other professional contributions
in higher education have included the design and delivery of workshops on mobile technology, emerging technology, assistive technology, Web 2.0 tools and social media. Always with a passion for the ways that technology can enhance lives, Phyllis developed
iOS apps designed to support greater levels of independence and communication for children and adults with varying intellectual disabilities.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
