- About Me:
- My work explores what happens when we give young people access to cutting edge technologies, with purposeful work, and opportunities to develop classroom goals that align with student formation of personal goals. Add to this well-designed curriculum, created with the kind of challenge, useful feedback and interaction that games provide and I propose that this will lead to more engagement, which should lead to more time on task, thus developing success and confidence and competency.
I offer a 20 credit teacher education certificate called Video Games as Learning Tools to explore these ideas.
I have been a yoga and meditation teacher for 9 years and one of my goals is to learn how to surf. I enjoy my work doing research, teaching, and thinking about big ideas. I like making long solo hiking trips, visiting historical sites, snorkeling in warm ocean waters, playing guitar, reading good fiction, learning to sail my boat, and mostly having family time with my wife and kids.
