About Me
I live in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the “Land of Enchantment” where the view includes the Organ Mountains and the most breathtaking sunsets. I am fortunate and grateful to be taking part in a transformative experience at Pepperdine University working on an Ed.D in Educational Technology. I spend my days working at New Mexico State University as a project coordinator and online instructor and I taught middle-school for four years. My expertise lies in distance learning, K12 professional development, higher education faculty development, social computing, and emergent technologies. I am helping to develop a new online teaching and learning certificate at NMSU and I’m still a proud RETAzen providing resources, community, and professional development for teachers in New Mexico.

    Julz,
    Welcome to Classroom 2.0, I hope you find this group as helpful as I have. Your PD weekend sounds very interesting. I am just wondering if your participants were open to the idea of social networking in the classroom, and also was there any conversations about Second Life? I am just interested where people are in the conversation about social networking.

    Hello Julz - interesting about your Pepperdine adventure - I have a connection. I've applied for the EdD in educational technology program and hope to begin this coming summer. Maybe I can ask you a few questions sometime? -- Terry
