I am the Director of Education Technology Services for Penn State University. In this role, I have the opportunity to help direct and drive the direction of the University's commitment to teaching and learning with technology. I am lucky enough to work with an amazing staff who are dedicated to transforming the use of technology in teaching and learning. We focus our energy on instructional design, educational technology, digital media, and faculty development. Currently at ETS, we are part of teams leading the efforts to bring University wide podcasting and blogging services to faculty, staff, and students. We also have administrative responsibility for the Digital Commons initiative, the TLT Symposium, components of the Blended Learning Initiative, <Adobe Connect Pro, iTunes U, the ETS Communities, the PSU Serious Gaming Initiative, and supporting the use of ANGEL for teaching and learning ... there are a bunch of other things that we deal with as well.

I focus all the time I can thinking about how technology can be used to extend the reach of teaching and learning. I travel quite a bit -- meeting with other Institutions, participating in the CIC Learning Technologies Committee, working with industry partners, giving talks, and exploring new opportunities. You can keep up with the work I do and the stuff I am thinking about by reading my blog, Learning & Innovation.

I continue to teach here at the University. Recently I am taught a new course in the College of Education, Curriculum and Instruction 597C: Disruptive Technologies for Teaching and Learning. I love teaching ... the classroom offers me a living laboratory to try many of the things we think about here at ETS.
