Steve Dresbach is an Instructional Support Professional who works closely with students to assist them with multimedia projects. He enjoys watching students use the tools they learn at Geneseo in their later careers (Leila Sassouni / knights’ life editor).
“I graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in the Information Technology Program; I was a corporate trainer for years in the Rochester area. The college—the library specifically, Milne Library—thought there was a need to have someone working out of the library that could do technology instruction in the different college courses. So, my role here now has evolved, and I go into many different classes and courses, and I teach technology-related projects to different sections. [These are] based on multimedia needs or technology projects, and trying to have students learn in a different way as opposed to always just having to write papers and so on … It’s encouraging to see, especially here at Geneseo. Students are usually eager to learn as much as they can and if they can learn a new tool or a new piece of technology to help them, not necessarily just in the course but even outside of the course. I do a lot of work with School of Education students, so it’s nice to see that they can take some of the tools that they learn and actually transfer it over to their skills when they become teachers and maybe use it in their classroom too.”
