#potcert11: Glad to be a part of the POT team this year!

My name is Cynthia J. Charles and I am the Interim Director/College of General Education Library Liaison, of the Will W. Alexander Library at Dillard University. I'm also the Creator/Blogger/Administrator of the Dillard University Center for Teaching, Learning and Academic Technology Blog, Facebook page, Twitter feed, Wiki and MOODLE web applications.

I was previously the Librarian and Branch Manager of the Austin Public Library, George Washington Carver Branch in Austin, Texas and Library Director at Texas College in Tyler, Texas.  I am a native New Orleanian, who lived in Texas from 1991 until I moved back home to New Orleans in 2008 to be the Assistant and eventually Interim Director of the Library at Dillard University.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in General Studies - Arts & Humanities, from the University of Houston-Downtown and a Master's in Library and Information Studies from the University of Texas in Austin.

I'm very excited about the course and really looking forward to learning alot about distance education and online teaching!
