Faculty spotlight: Senior lecturer credits students for her love of teaching
When Gretchen Thomas first arrived at the University of Georgia in 1990, she set out to study geology before switching to middle grades education.
“I changed my major so that I could teach earth science to middle schoolers, which, oddly enough, I never did,” said Thomas, a senior lecturer in the Department of Workforce Education and Instructional Technology.
That switch was the first of many that led to her current role teaching courses in educational technology to students in the College of Education as well as non-education majors from across the University.
