AJ is a Instructional Designer and Technologist at Western Washington University and was nominated for this award by a colleague who says:”
“AJ is a creative, brilliant, and engaging thought leader supporting the use of technology by educators and artists both in Bellingham and across the country. His career as a technology educator has extended from Olympic College, Northwest Indian College, and Western Washington University. He hosts three different podcasts, including the Bellingham Podcast on Bellingham’s KMRE. In addition to giving frequent talks to faculty at WWU, AJ was an invited speaker to the national Adobe Max 2023 conference, where he drew a large audience for his topic: ‘Unlocking Generative AI in the Classroom Today’. We benefit from his excellent ability to take a deep dive into the latest innovations and then explain their impact on everyday life. He brings attention to Bellingham and the northwest through his award-winning photography, blogging commentary, speaking engagements, guest podcasting interviews, and experience in creative and sometimes arcane subjects. For nine years, AJ supervised dozens of student employees at Western’s Student Technology Center where he supported their growth through college and then onto careers at places like Adobe, Amazon, and Microsoft. At the same time, AJ worked with faculty to bring VR and 3D printing access to courses across the university.”
