Areas of Expertise:
Educational technology is a field that is often conceived as synonymous with computer education; however, the field is much broader. Educational technology includes the design, development, presentation and evaluation of instruction, and, in fact, encompasses the entire instructional process. Rosenfeld is the only faculty member with a degree in this discipline in Brooklyn College's School of Education. Her research focuses on the integration of technology in educational environments.
