Welcome

Thank you for visiting my site. I've used this space to showcase my work and share my thoughts on education, leadership, and the role technology can play in both.

I've enjoyed this opportunity to reflect on my past accomplishments and future aspirations. In assembling these materials I've come across some things of which I was very proud. Of course, I've also found some things from early in my career that made me cringe!

The most valuable thing I learned was how far I have come and what new directions I might take.

Education is an ever-changing field. Technology adds a new dimension with even more opportunities. There is always something new to learn; a new tool or technique, new learning theories, emerging research on brain development and function, partnerships and collaborations that can improve or expand offerings.

As an education professional you must always be open to new ideas and working toward continual improvement. This is what makes teaching such an exciting career and teaching online such a challenge!
