I am a faculty member in the Learning, Design, & Technology Technology Graduate Program in the College of Education at the University of Houston. I have been teaching in the College of Education at UH since 1993. Prior to that, I earned a bachelor's degree in Media Arts from the University of South Carolina and a Master's degree and a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology from the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education. My doctoral research focused on the creation of a public education network for teachers as well as their use of the Internet and the benefits of online communication.
My interests include instructional technology training for the professional development of teachers and educational administrators; the design and development of community-based websites; the educational uses of digital photography, digital video, and digital storytelling; and the use of technology to support education in the health sciences.
