Welcome to my ePortfolio!
I’m Nana Esi Sackey
An educator and researcher passionate about transforming primary education through the power of educational technology (EdTech). My mission is to design interactive, inclusive, and engaging learning experiences that support young learners in their academic journey.
Why This ePortfolio Matters
This Capstone ePortfolio is not just a final requirement, it’s a vision brought to life. It captures the heart of my graduate journey: exploring how digital tools, when used with purpose, can solve classroom problems, support struggling learners, and spark joy in learning.
Across six signature projects, I’ve created technology integrated solutions grounded in field experience, backed by research, and designed for real students in real schools.
From crafting interactive writing modules for English learners to leading behavioral studies using positive reinforcement, I’ve seen what happens when thoughtful design meets educational need and it’s powerful.
Guided by AECT Standards
1. Content Knowledge
I designed effective instruction by combining theory and real-world technology tools especially visible in my Curriculum Project and Instructional Design work.
2. Content Pedagogy
Through the Action Research and Needs Assessment, I implemented learning strategies that engaged students and improved outcomes anchored in best practices.
3. Research
My Action Research brought it full circle merging data, feedback, and theory to improve classroom management through positive reinforcement.
4. Learning Environments
I built responsive, accessible digital spaces in both my Multimedia eLearning Project and School Technology Plan, tailoring technology to meet diverse learning needs.
5. Professional Knowledge & Skills
Each project reflects my growth as a professional: collaborating, adapting, and leading through iterative design and reflective practice.
Featured Projects
Action Research – Using reinforcement to shape classroom behavior
Curriculum Project – A special education math intervention built on real classroom data
