About Me

Hello!

My name is Dr. Jared Pyles, and I’ve been in education since 2010. Before education, I was in media production, working in radio for 3 years. In my current occupation as instructional designer, I primarily build online courses, but I also help faculty support the needs of their students. I have experience in K-12 and higher education and am well-versed in technology integration and online education. I received my Ed.D. in Educational Technology from Boise State University in 2024.
