I am an Associate Professor in the Graduate Program in Educational Technology at NJCU, where I have been working since 2001.  Before coming to NJCU I taught high school English at the Hudson County Schools of Technology in Jersey City for ten years.

As a classroom teacher I won several  awards for my teaching—including Teacher of the Year, the Governor’s Award for Outstanding Teaching, and the Geraldine R. Dodge Award for Teacher of Humanities.

I have my BA and MA in English Literature from Rutgers and my Doctorate in Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Besides my teaching, scholarship, and service I have consulted for educational organizations, universities, online programs, and school districts as a curriculum consultant, workshop leader, and external evaluator for grants.

I've written numerous articles and give presentations on educational technology.  I am coauthor of the book Teachers as Technology Leaders (ISTE, 2006) with Cordelia Twomey and Laura Zeiger and the author of   National Educational Technology Standards for Students: Units for the English Language Arts  (ISTE, 2008).
