Aloha LTEC Ohana! We wanted to highlight one of our MEd alumni, Kawika Gonzales! Kawika is a 5th grade teacher at Kaunakakai Elementary School, in Moloka’i, and was featured in Hawaii News Now recently. He brings excitement for learning to his students by implementing virtual reality in his classrooms and utilizing his skills from his LTEC degree! Kawika came into the LTEC program thinking he would be only learning about the different technologies being used in classrooms, but finished the program learning more on designing an enjoyable learning environment. Kawika says, “Learning about how to design effective, engaging, targeted, and purposeful instruction is so important as a teacher. I wish all teachers were required to go through this program before they started teaching!”
Kawika is also involved as a Resource Teacher for the Advancing Research and Practice in Culturally-Relevant Computing-National Science Foundation grant program, co-directed by LTEC faculty Dr. Dan Hoffman, Dr. Peter Leong and Dr. Seungoh Paek, and Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies Associate Specialist Rochelle Ka’aloa.
A special shout out to Lynn Erdmann, a fellow LTEC alumni for sharing the news with us!

Aloha LTEC Ohana! Last week we hosted ICoME 2022 and it was a great success! ICoME is the acronym for the International Conference for Media in Education, where some of our students and alumni had the opportunity to share their research with other colleagues and researchers from all over the world. We wanted to highlight one of the featured keynote speakers, our very own Professor Dr. Seoungh Paek (Topic: Distance in Learning: Exploring the Impact of Instructional Design on the Instructional Core). Dr. Paek has been with LTEC for quite some time now, and she continues to find ways to share her knowledge and inspire others to become the best they can be. Mahalo nui loa Dr. Paek for sharing your insights with our international conference attendees! Another featured keynote speaker was Dr. Danilo Baylen (Topic: Rethinking, Redesigning, and Recreating Learning Experiences: Reflections on the Search for Something Norma), who is a Professor of Instructional Technology, Media, and Design in the Department of Educational Technology and Foundations, at the University of West Georgia (USA).

Congratulations to all of our LTEC 2022 graduates! We are so proud of you! Thank you to all of those who attended, and/or helped out with the LTEC Graduation Party. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves! We would like to share some memories we captured from the Convocation, Graduation Commencement, and Virtual Celebration that we would like to share with everyone. Big thank you to our LTEC faculty for capturing these special moments.
Here is a special poem by one of our graduates, Yahna Kaʻawa, made specially the graduating class of 2022:
“It is with great fondness that I remember,
the LTEC cohort 2012 semester.
There were 13 of us in all,
when we started in the Fall.
A quest for knowledge, a new degree,
in Learning Design and Technology.
Professionals in our careers, staring out way back then,
looking forward to that great, big finish at the end.
We stayed the course and persevered, through the thick and the thin,
passing classes taught by Drs. Irvine, Ho, Leong, and Lin.
From E-Learning, Mobile tech, Visual Design, and ET Theory,
We worked hard to grasp the concepts, and we did not feel too weary.
Then in the middle, was a change from E-T-E-C to LTEC,
finishing coursework, for Menchaca, Fulford, Schmidt, Hoffman, Eichelberger, and Paek.
All the hard work, sweat, and tears,
late nights, and weekends for months and years.
Invitations we did decline,
because we didn't have the time.
We are grateful to our colleagues, dear friends, and family.
for their love and support through this doctoral journey.
Today, Manoa graduates, don their gown, cap, and tassel,
and pray that parking in the structure will not be too much of a hassle.
Ho'omaika'i ia 'oukou, congratulations to all of you,
the LTEC Docs and Masters in the graduating class of 2022.”
Don’t forget to check out the special sticker design created by another 2022 graduate, Chelby Onaga, in the photo album (Hotter by one degree, indeed!)
We wish you all a safe and tan-tastic summer, and congratulations once again to our 2022 graduates!
Please reach out to ltec@hawaii.edu if you have any career or family news you would like to share (about your LTEC peers or yourself!) and celebrate with the LTEC Ohana! We would love to hear from you all!
