Antoinette Bruciati , Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Teacher Education in the Isabelle Farrington College of Education at Sacred Heart University.

Through my role as Coordinator for Educational Technology, I am responsible for the development, assessment, and management of the Educational Technology Certificate Program. Educational technology involves the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning through the development, integration, and management of developmentally appropriate technological resources. My commitment to the expansion of professional knowledge is demonstrated through scholarship and research endeavors incorporating a wide range of themes in response to emerging technologies, the way children and adults learn in the 21st century, and methods for the delivery of online instruction.

As an educator, I strive to engage, challenge, and inspire professional excellence in my students. It is my belief that all students are capable of acquiring and refining knowledge, proficiencies, and dispositions that will equip them for life in an ever changing world. A current grant-funded project titled DISCOVER the Future with Robotics enables me to conduct site-based research as I align the math, science, and language arts curricula to the field of robotics and pilot new teaching methodologies in Grade 5-6 classrooms.
