My Challenge: As a librarian transitioning to instructional design, I initially felt isolated and overwhelmed by the rapid tech changes. Finding relevant resources in online learning was a challenge even for this librarian. 

How TxDLA Helped: My library mentor recommended TxDLA as a valuable resource to expand my knowledge and connect with others in this field. I found a welcoming and supportive community of educators and technologists facing similar challenges.

My Transformation: Coming back to TxDLA this past year after a long break has helped me see what a game-changer this organization has been for my professional journey. Through TxDLA conferences and online events, I’ve discovered invaluable new tools and innovative pedagogical approaches that have enhanced my career as a designer and teacher. The conferences have been incredibly impactful, providing invaluable networking opportunities and connecting me with a vibrant community that leaves me feeling recharged and motivated.
