Bob Little went into his senior year of high school with plans to become an engineer.

But his Advanced Placement Calculus teacher inspired him to consider taking his talents and putting them
to use in the classroom.

"My teacher would oftentimes let us work together in groups and I really enjoyed working with the other students," he said. "He would also
let us go up to the board and work through homework problems, and I really enjoyed that."

Little earned his bachelor's degree in math education from Georgia State in December 2006 and has been teaching at Collins Hill High School in Gwinnett County since January 2007. In addition to teaching AP Calculus AB and Integrated Algebra 1 and coaching the school's football team, he also serves as the Relay for Life coordinator, the school's clubs and activities coordinator, and the math team coach.

So when Little started looking into master's degree programs, an online degree program through Georgia OnMyLine seemed like a perfect fit for someone with such a busy schedule.

"There are a lot of master's programs available to teachers, but the foundation I received at Georgia State was high quality and GSU was the only university in the state of Georgia that had an online math education master's degree program," he said. "With this online program, I have more time because I don't have to drive to campus three days a week."
