About

Welcome to my personal/professional site.  I’m using this site to gather together my blogs, presentations, pictures, and more.  In the pages sections, you will find links to more information about me.  You can see my CV, a sampling of my presentations, my philosophy about technology in the liberal arts and more.  In addition to the static pages with my vita and other information in the sidebar, you’ll find links to my blog and Twitter posts, many of which are thoughts and ideas about higher education. Feel free to jump off from here and explore. I may be contacted using any of the addresses in the contact box. I’d love to hear from new colleagues and friends!

I can be found many places online: Second Life, Twitter, at my personal blog Geeky Mom, and on Flickr, to name a few. I use these social tools to keep up with current research and information in technology and education and as a platform to share my ideas and collaborate with others.  I believe harnessing these tools for learning can lead to unexpectedly wonderful results.  As an educator, I feel it’s important to always be learning new things, and so I am.
