I am a developmental psychologist. I teach psychology and education undergraduate and graudate in courses including Introductory Psycholgy, Social Psychology, Personality Development, Measurement and Evaluation, and Psychoeducational Assessment. I teach both on the ground and online courses. I have taught at Marist for 27 years and elsewhere for 6 years. I serve as Chair of Psychology and Chair of the Online Distance Education Committee.

I love teaching. I am known to be a "task master." I expect a lot of my students and I provide them with a great deal of support and feedback. I think provide frequent and varied assessments. I am willing to review work a head of time and provide feedback to enhance learning. I am available to my students from 7:00 AM until 9:00 PM most days of the week. Most of my contact is online, but they do come to my office and do call me at home or at my office. I prefer on the ground teaching, but have learned a great deal from teaching fully online courses. In fact, teaching these courses has helped me become a more effective on the ground teacher. I have written four books and authored several articles. I frequently contribute to popular media as an expert consultant. And, I have also been on national television 5 times (honestly, it is fun being a celebrity for a few minutes).

I have two grown children. I have been married for 35 years to the best man on earth! We have a small farm with eight horses. We do kitten rescue work for a non-kill national organization. I have been a board member and officer at several local human service agencies across the years. We believe we should give to others as much as we can.

I am an advocate of project base learning and eLearning, preparing students for the 21st century, i.e., digital-age literacy, effective communication and inventive thinking, work ethic, collaboration, social responsibility, critical thinking and problem-solving, creativity and innovation.

My computer technology career spans a variety of New York IT companies, public and private organizations (i.e. brokerage, banking, and publishing firms, and city agencies), with divergent levels of technology: computer technology and IT user training and development, computer networks and data communication; client/server and PC local/wide area networks; operating systems; hardware and application software. I have proven to be particularly effective in working with people in a constantly changing, cutting-edge technical environment. The work is diverse and challenging.

I am a NYC public high school educator in Brooklyn.

I am striving to continually innovate practice and influence the world of education and to combine learning with real-world examples both inside and outside the classroom.

Develop small learning communities that will focus on technology (that it is changing the culture of our schools) in the following ways:

* work on things like work ethic
* teach students they have a global focus
* integrate learning
* collaboration
* content creation among students
* function in a digital global economy
* design and carry out rigorous and motivating projects, a space where students and community members come together to engage.

"...it may help us in the future to find out what our students really know as opposed to what they can give the appearance of knowing, their real learning as opposed to their apparent learning (Arithmetic Teacher 26 Sept 1978)

For the last 17 years, I have taught English in various schools across Orange and Sullivan counties. I have taught 6-12 in public school, including Advanced Placement Literature and Advanced Placement Language. I have taught English 101 at Orange County Community College. I teach Catechism to 4th graders. I have coached Varsity soccer, skiing, and Track n Field. I currently coach pee wee soccer for my kids' teams.

I graduated from a local Catholic high school here in Orange County New York, and I left for college, swearing that I would never return the rural hills of the Hudson Valley. My home town had a blinking light; the public school graduated about 35 kids.. I excelled at English Ed at Fredonia State University, and I was chosen to represent the school on an international student-teacher exchange to Canterbury England, where I spent a summer semester teaching the British children of St. George's in Thanet. I returned to Fredonia to finish my senior year, and I was awarded a graduate internship that would have enabled me to earn my PhD from the University at Buffalo. Budget cuts that year eliminated the position, driving me back home. At a job fair, I accepted a position to teach in California, but my car died before I could set out on the road. I accepted a summer school position at my old high school, which led to a leave position at Warwick Valley Middle School, on the very edge of New York, on the New Jersey border.

The following year, I took a position in Tri-Valley, in the hear of the Catskill Mountains, where I taught English and a section of advanced Environmental Science through Cornell Cooperative Extension. I spent four years there, teaching and coaching, before I left for my current position in Minisink Valley. I have taught here for 12 years. I have worked with several student teachers, and I have mentored four of the 6 new teachers we've hired in the last 7 years, or roughly 30% of the department.

Last year, I accepted a position teaching Irish Literature to students world-wide via VHS, or Virtual High School out of New England. By teaching this course via Blackboard, 50 Minisink students are eligible to take over 250 electives via other VHS teachers. This experience drove me to seek a way to expand my face to face student's experience, which led me to Sakai. I have had such success with Sakai, that I am now teaching in-service courses about it to my colleagues. Since our core group of 10 started using Sakai in November, Minisink now boasts more than100 users.

I am Instructional Designer for Academic Technology & eLearning at Marist College. In this capacity, I train faculty to use Sakai and other learning technologies to enhance student learning, collaborate in the design of technology-enhanced learning activities, and oversees the deployment of the OSP pilot projects.
