Name?
JoAnn L. Rhoades (not to be confused with the other JoAnn Rhoads on campus- she works in the Women’s building.) Although she is definitely fun, I am quite possibly more cheeky.
Title?
Administrative Assistant I
How long have you been at the Maxwell School?
I have been at Maxwell since August 1, 2016. However, I have worked at the University since October 19, 2009. During that time I was temporary/part time in both Athletics (particularly basketball) and ODS (Office of Disabilities Services).
What department do you work in?
The Department of Anthropology and yes, I do shake up the bones!
How do you use technology in your research and/or teaching?
I use technology to access data for grad and undergrad students. Whilst working from home I used everything- Skype, Zoom, Teams, and Blackboard collaborate for meetings (there may be others but working from home has me a bit crazy so there may be more technology I have forgotten).
What new technologies are you interested in using either in your teaching or for your personal use?
I use technology mostly for work. Heck, I have been a member of Facebook since 2009 and still do not really know how that works!! My computer skills come in handy to use my laptop to search information and plan trips. I consider myself a world traveler and upscale vagabond. “Have toothbrush and passport will travel” is my motto. I have been to 10 different countries (and 2 dependencies or other territories). My epitaph will read…she once breakfasted in Hong Kong lunched in Taipei and dinned in Tokyo.
