Currently, Hisrich teaches an undergraduate class in educational psychology at ASU, and for the last two years she has been teaching an education course for the University of Phoenix Online. In addition, she is working with two professors: putting together an edited edition of the journal, Computers in the Schools, about the effects of technology on early childhood emergent literacy skills and creating an online course called Learning with Preschoolers, offered through ASU for parents about how to interact with their children on the computer. Hisrich also founded and built her own website, which is dedicated to providing parents with information about creating educational environments, using technology, showing how the brain learns, and implementing children's activities/procedures; she also uses this same information in her presentations to parents at various venues. Her research interests include parent involvement, effects of technology, learning and the brain, and the development of young children.
