About Me
My name is Raymond Terhorst II, and I am currently the Technology Integration Specialist for Secondary in The School District of the City of York. In this role, I develop and implement strategies to assist teachers and administrators in the incorporation of educational technology into the curriculum.

For over 10 years, I served the students of Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland as an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Teacher, a Technology Coordinator, and an ESOL Teacher and Technology Coach.

I also teach at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), as both an undergraduate English instructor and graduate ELL instructor. As an English instructor, I design, develop and deliver instruction on both introductory composition as well as advanced composition; as an instructor in the ESOL MA Program, I design, develop and deliver instruction on theories of second language acquisition and ESOL instructional methodologies.

I graduated from the UMBC with degrees in English and History. I returned to UMBC and earned an MA in Instructional Design with a concentration in ESOL instruction. In 2002 I had the opportunity to attend the Maryland Technology Academy (MTA), an intensive three-week exploration of technology and foundations of educational leadership. During the last few years, I have taken additional coursework from Towson University and Johns Hopkins in educational technology. I am currently attending Clarion University and pursuing Pennsylvania Department of Education certification as an Instructional Technology Specialist.

I have had the pleasure of presenting educational strategies at a number of conferences and events, including:
 * Powering Up 2000 ([|PoweringUp)]
 * MICCA 2001 ([|MICCA)]
 * MICCA 2003 ([|MICCA])
 * TESOL 2008 [|(TESOL)]
