About Me
Age 51. Mid-life career changer (in-progress). Started this past fall as Masters student in Instructional Design and Development at UGA (College of Education).

I've spent two and a half decades as practicing software engineer, most recently working with the web as most everyone else in I.T. is doing these days.

I have a wife, and 3 sons, 15, 7, and 4. The oldest just entered high school, and is totally gadget driven (iPod, iPhone, laptop, Wii, Playstation 3, and on, and on....).

I'd love to network both with teachers, ed tech specialists, and instructional technology or instructional design graduate students around the country or abroad. I hope to be practicing in the field within 2 years or so.

    Thanks Mike. Do you teach? [If so] where?

    I'll be updating my UGA web pages periodically throughout summer.

    Hi Fred,

    Yes...I teach chemistry f2f and online via our state-wide virtual university system. As you can imagine, teaching online is a challenge, but all the web 2.0 tools available makes the job fun and exciting. Good luck with your projects.

    Hi Fred!

    Hope you had a nice winter break. I was wondering if you or your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. We'd really like to get students involved from Georgia!

    You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
