Bio
Daniel Jean-Toussaint
I recently had the privilege of participating in Mr. Jose Diaz's online certification course, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. What stands out about Jose is his genuine passion for integrating technology into learning. He has an uncanny ability to demystify complex educational technology concepts, making them easily comprehensible to all, regardless of one's tech proficiency. Throughout the course, I was continually impressed by the breadth and depth of knowledge Jose shared with us. His teachings not only provided me with invaluable insights but also gave me practical tools and approaches that I can implement in my work. His dedication to enhancing educational experiences through technology is truly commendable. Jose would undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to any higher education institution. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of educational technology and its transformative potential
