I'm an educator of all trades. I've taught at:

  • Skidmore College's University Without Walls (distance education)
  • University at Albany (SUNY)
  • Hampshire College
  • University Massachusetts Amherst
  • Johns Hopkins CTY

 

I generally teach computer science and related disciplines (information science, statistics, discrete math, etc.).

 

I'm interested in a wide range of technology-meets-education issues:

  • should very young students be using computers?
  • why do teachers spend most of their computer time troubleshooting issues?
  • why do most computers sit idle in the classroom?
  • how can social software be used to support education?
  • how can institutions possibly hope to keep up with changing technologies?!
  • what mental model of the related disciplines do students have/should students develop?
  • why are more introduction to computer science texts/courses really introduction to programming?
  • why is programming so often taught as a top-down discipline?
  • how can technology get out of the way, and let teaching happen in a technology rich classroom?
