 * Name and your job title: Marcos J. Montero-Lares, Instructional Developer and Blackboard System Administrator
 * Nature and length of our collaboration: I have supported Dr. Johnson in the use of education technology as well as the development of policies and procedures for supporting the use and management of educational technology.

Dr. Johnson demonstrates commitment to innovating in the use of technology in teaching and learning. I have provided and continue to provide support to her as she experiments with and uses technology as part of her teaching and advising roles. She is a strong user of Blackboard Learn and Blackboard Collaborate (Elluminate Live!). For instance, she is using Blackboard Collaborate to connect with students and advisees and foster community and student engagement.

In her role as Associate Dean of Technology and Learning at the Hamline University's School of Education, Dr. Johnson has been extremely helpful in promoting and supporting the use of educational technology -- particularly Blackboard Learn -- among faculty. She has coordinated faculty training and support efforts. She has had a voice for students as part of the discussions regarding technical support services. She has helped in communicating with faculty and facilitating the resolution of technical/instructional issues. She has facilitated the development of procedures and policies for the use of the Blackboard Learn system. She has also taken a leadership role in the development of online courses through the partnership between Hamline University and Learning House.

Dr. Johnson is truly a remarkable professional, educator, and administrator. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson for tenure at Hamline University. She demonstrates Hamline University's commitment to student learning and excellence in teaching and learning.

Respectfully,

Dr. Marcos J. Montero-Lares mjml1974@gmail.com
