After graduating in '95 I traveled to Seoul, South Korea where I acquired a taste for duk ( rice cake) and discovered an aspiration to teach. Three years later , I was back to the States to gain a degree in Computer Science ( graduating indeed in '01).

I'm trying to graduate with a Master's degree by '12.

Virginia Tech

I am a young professor in my fourth year of teaching full time. Like my students, I spend a great of deal of time online, and so I make all of my course content available on the Scholar website: all primary and secondary sources, all documentary video clips, and links to the lectures on youtube are all found there. This semester I am going to use the wiki tool to help the students work collaboratively on their term paper, which asks them to compare and contrast two biographies of Charlemagne written two generations apart.

I have been the director for the ePortfolio Initiatives at Virginia Tech since 2008.

I was TA for two professors and was in charge of developing a project with Collab that would eventually is the creation by the student, as a final project/paper, of a website. Except for the website tool that was used to create the website (iWeb), every step of the project (including the storage of the websites) was developed on Skai/Collab.
