Kevin E. Johnson, M.Ed.
My interest in technology began when I was 14. I worked detasling corn for a summer and saved up and bought a Commodore 64 (Whoooo! Hoooo!). I spent hours teaching myself to program, which later lead to a programming position with the University of Illinois. Anyone remember Plato terminals? I spent three years working with the Computer Adaptive Testing and Measurement team developing online study materials for domestic and international audiences.
For the past thirteen years, I have developed curriculum and taught in both academic and corporate environments. Even though I have taught multiple subjects, a majority of my teaching has centered on technology. After graduating with my Master of Education degree from the University of Illinois, I moved to California where I taught for a Business College. Due to my desire to save paper (not to mention the desire to no longer fight for the copy machine), I started providing lecture notes and other resources to students on CDs. As the Internet emerged, the college asked me to teach a web development course. It was a natural transition for me to move from burning CDs to placing course content on the web. Before I knew it, I was interacting with my students electronically and my interest in online education began.
Since, I have held both instructional and administrative positions focusing on developing and supporting online faculty. I have also facilitated a statewide initiative focusing on the creation of a quality design rubric for online courses. In December of 2008, I became the President and CEO of The Cutting Ed, Inc., an onground to online education consulting company for the 21st century (http://thecuttinged.com).
Finally, in January of 2007, I decided to continue my educational journey and have been pursuing my doctoral degree from Nova Southeastern (http://www.nova.edu). The program is a doctorate of education degree with a concentration in instructional technology and distance education (http://www.schoolofed.nova.edu/doctoral/concentrations/itde.htm).
