What future teachers are saying...
Member of Kappa Delta Pi Workshop
She added so much personality and fun to a presentation on AI! I left this event feeling more relieved about the pressures of teaching and teacher burnout knowing that numerous resources are available for me to use!
Future teacher
I absolutely love her. She is amazing and I really wish I had her as a professor. I learned so much from her and all of the content she shared was beneficial and I cannot wait to jump in and explore new things!
Adivisor of student education organization
She is so knowledgeable about everything she talked about, and I think it is great that she takes the time to help educate other teachers and future teachers on these things! I learned how to create new resources. Thank you DR Fecich for the great ideas. Dr. F is a gem! She is attentive and engaged!
