Passionate Educator,
​Technologist, and Author
I believe teaching is about inspiring others and encouraging a natural sense of curiosity.  Education is about more than just preparing students for the workforce, it is sharing the simple yet sacred joy of learning.

To me, technology is about possibilities.  I am passionate about exploring how technology can be used not just to augment what is already possible, but to go beyond and transform our lives.   

The EdTech Bible is the book about teaching and technology that I wish I had when I first started teaching.  The book is mainly intended for K-12 teachers and college faculty, but non-teachers and students find it useful as well.

Digital Literacy is a critical component of Digital Citizenship, but it's not the only one.  I organize events on campus to raise awareness of the many different skills we need our students to have to succeed in a society full of technology.
