"Hands that can grasp, eyes

that can dilate, hair that can rise

if it must, these things are important

not because a

high-sounding interpretation can be put

upon them but

because they are

useful."

Marianne Moore, Poetry
Assorted quotes are available here.

About my work

In my professional life, I work in educational technology, specializing in teacher preparation and development. For detailed information about my education and experiences, my Curricum Vitae is on line. A one page resume which concentrates primarily on my educational technology experience is also available. If you're interested in seeing a sample of my writing, a paper on rapid prototyping that I co-wrote with Joe Hoffman is available here. My dissertation proposal abstract represents a more recent picture of my writing and research interests.  As of May, 2001 I have completed my Ph.D. in educational technology.  A chapter of that document will appear as a paper in the upcoming Journal of Educational Computing Research, a peer-reviewed print journal.

The bulk of my professional work is done at Eastern Michigan University, where I am a tenure-track faculty member.  One course I teach is EDMT 330, an undergraduate teacher education course on educational technology. The link above will take you to the syllabus and on-line resources for that course.

My graduate work was done at the University of ichigan. The project I was most closely associated with was the Master's and Certification (MAC) program, where I worked with the MAC B cohort. The group consists of teacher education students in language arts, science, social studies, math, and foreign languages.

What I do for fun

Actually, I don't have much time for recreation. But when I do get a chance to relax, here's what I do.
