Samantha Blevins - As an instructional designer with design and teaching experience in various educational settings I have learned that change can only be successful if it is approached from a systematic perspective. This perspective gives structure to the process and helps continually move that process forward. In my current role as the ePortfolio Program Manager at Virginia Tech I have applied this process to the implementation of ePortfolios on our campus, building a community of practice that continually evolves and improves. As a nominee for STC AECT Board Reprsentative, I welcome the opportunity to continue my involvement within the division and within AECT as a whole, as well as to shape the future of our organization. In addition, I also plan to apply my community building skills to this role, strengthening an already wonderful community within AECT.
