Who am I?

I am a learner. I teach and learn with my sixth grade students. I teach and learn with a variety of adult learners. I also present at conferences.

I am nearing completion of a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Research from the University of South Carolina. My dissertation research is exploring instructional design methodologies for inherently complex tasks in medical simulations. For more details about my educational background, see the about page.

I am a Google Certified Teacher, a SMART Exemplary Educator and a Discovery STAR Educator. I have won several awards during my time teaching sixth grade, including the Making IT Happen award, was a finalist in the Leaders in Learning award, and won an excellence in student media production at the International Student Media Festival. I also delivered the keynote address at the Upstate Technology Conference in June, 2009.

You will find me to be a well-balanced mixture of real-world design skills and knowledge of the underlying theories of learning.

Where to find me...

I regularly update my Twitter, occasionally update my blog, and my social bookmarks. I also interact in a variety of different groups and fora.
