30 exciting years in the classroom, (well, the first 3 or 4 were a little shaky). Focused on integrating emerging technologies into the curriculum to enhance teaching and learning since the latter 1970's. Yep, those first years consisted of extensive flowcharting and filling out Fortran coding sheets, turning in punched cards.
Currently my title is Technology Integration Specialist at Willamette University Graduate School of Education. As an adjunct professor I taught Ed Tech 520 and Ed533- Math Methods & Research, and periodically supervised student teachers.
Project leader at ODE (Dept of Education) providing 'District technology planning' workshops and reviewing their Ed Tech plans. One of my favorite projects was working with the UO (go Ducks) administrative licensure program developing a web2.0 based digital portfolio system for all their candidates.
I'm an avid outdoor person --- running, hiking, climbing, kayaking.
