Picture Stories: ISSA PD talk I - The AECT Internship & PacifiCorp Competition

Last Friday, we had our first ISSA professional development talk: "Beyond the Presentations: The AECT Internship and PacifiCorp Competition" at Stone Building.

Fabrizio Fornara, the current ISSA president, introduced four speakers, Dr. Jeeheon Ryu, Dr. Sanghoon Park, Alison Moore, and Jiyae Bong.
Dr. Jeeheon Ryu talked about the AECT leadership development internship program - Strohbehn Intern, Cochran Intern, and Jenny Johnson Intern. He also shared his personal experience as a former intern and useful resources including published articles on reflections of formal interns.

We also had a great chance to learn more about the AECT internship program thanks to another speaker, Dr. Sanghoon Park. He is another alumnus and works as an assistant professor of Instructional Technology at University of South Florida. As a former AECT intern, Dr. Park also shared his experience and the benefits of it. He didn't forget to show us the shiny medal for the internship. :)
