Howdy!

How-do everyone?

This is a great idea! a little MyS*ace for the teaching and learning crowd! ... and timely too! I'm teaching a course called, "Emerging Technology in Education" next quarter and plan to use this as a bouncing pad with my graduate students. Like I said in my profile, I'm a Research Associate for the Center for Electronic Studying, a division of The Center for Advanced Technology in Education at the University of Oregon, but they also - once in a while - let me teach a class or two.

My interests are in preparing students for a future of rapid transformation (using critical thinking, creative problem solving, and futures learning scenarios), using the development of Multi-User Virtual Environments (like Second Life, River City, or There), Web 2.0 stuff of all kinds (see http://del.icio.us/Jonathon_Richter/web2.0 ), in developing Electronic Portfolios, and Computer-based study strategies (see http://cbss.uoregon.edu/ ).

Hope to be engaged and enlightened by you all! :)
