My Educational Philosophy 

Welcome to my homepage. There are many opportunities for us to use the Internet as a tool or more specifically a conduit in the field of Education. Some researchers actually believe that technology may eventually replace traditional classroom deliveries. Seat-Time (ST) has been a controversial discussion point, especially in the accreditation process. Technology allows students and teachers to do a good portion of their learning in an on-line delivery format. However, ST is still required, albeit behind a computer and personal human interaction is critical to the learning process.

We can not allow technology to dehumanize our educational experiences. Information retrieval and data sharing have become a mainstay of learning from pre-elementary to the post-graduate levels of education. Distance learning is gaining momentum . . . 

My personal and professional interests are linked to many major topics: 

• Adult Education
• Assessment (Institutional, Departmental and Individual Students)
• Computers and Technology 
• Critical Thinking (Bloom's Taxonomy - 1956)
• Distance Learning 
• Education Leadership, Management and Policy
• Educational Technology 
• Gender Equity with Technology
• Social Equity with Technology
• Social Research Using the Internet 

If you share the same interests or would like assistance in any of these areas, send me an email.
