I became interested in implementing and developing more effective learning strategies for juniors and seniors in the biochemistry major in 2002. I began using Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) techniques and soon began to explore ways to incorporate technology into the classroom.

I have been teaching at history at the college level since 1992. I moved into teaching using technology in the late 1990s when I discovered high speed internet. Prior to utilizing course management software such as Blackboard and Sakai, I taught myself how to build webpages and posted information on open access websites. I am currently the lone representative in my department who offers online courses. Along with teaching the online surveys of US history to freshman, I teach a methods course for pre-service social studies teachers and I coordinate professional development workshops for public school teachers.
