About

M. D. (Peggy) Roblyer is a retired Professor of Educational Technology and textbook author who helped usher in the world of educational technology in the 1970s, becoming prominent for shaping this new discipline in the online era. In a career that spanned nearly 40 years, she authored a dozen textbooks, including Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching, which became the best-selling text in the field when published in 1996 and remains so today in its ninth edition.

Since retiring in 2015, Peggy has focused on her love of language by joining the River City Writer’s Club, serving as founding editor for the Longleaf community newsletter, and becoming webmaster for the Chattanooga Writers Guild. She is active in her Methodist church, visiting members in nursing home and assistive living care and helping with the ABIDE Ministry to those experiencing dementia.

Peggy has been married for 48 years to Bill Wiencke, also a retired educator, and they are proud parents of a daughter, Paige. In addition to writing, Peggy loves reading, travel, sewing and fiber crafts, craft shows, water aerobics, and walking the “Scenic City” of Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she lives with her husband.

This is her first non-academic book.
