  • Teaching Experience

    I began my teaching life as a high school English teacher in San Diego. Eventually I became department chair and district technology mentor. Since 1995 I've been creating Web-based activities that promote real, rich and relevant learning. These began by co-developing the WebQuest and carried on to other formats and strategies for engaging students and making the most of what's available on the Web.

  • My Teaching Style

    Although I'm comfortable with direct instruction, my passion is student-driven construction of meaning for deeper understandings.

  • Shining Teacher Moment

    I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a finalist for San Diego County Teacher of the Year in 1991. Since then I've enjoyed developing WebQuests and other approaches to student-driven learning and am regarded as a leader in the field of edtech and rich learning.

  • My Own Educational History

    A product of both public and private schools, I earned a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and later an MA in Instructional Design / Education Technology from San Diego State University. I've continued to learn from mentors in the fields of Understanding by Design and Curriculum Mapping.

  • Additional Biographical Information

    In 1997, we moved our family to Australia where I have been working as a consultant to NGOs and software companies while working with schools to leverage technologies for rich learning. We love our life in the bush and regularly - yes! - have kangaroos, cockatoos, blue-tongue lizards and even echidna's roaming around our home.
