About Me

I am at Florida State College Jacksonville in the Office of Learning Services. I lead the custom learning solutions for our new small business unit Global Education Learning Solutions GLS. I enjoy presenting at various conferences on my work and research interests. Currently I am very interested in mobile e-books, immersive exploratory learning objects, offline synchronizing LMS technologies, and situated cognition. Additionally, I am experimenting with ways immersive virtual environments such as Second Life may be used to support teaching and learning. One fascinating book I recommend for those interested in virtual worlds is Synthetic Worlds by Edward Castronova. Last year I completed a multiple case study exploring student learning experiences with mobile e-books, with a particular focus on situated learning and am interested in the learning applications of social media.....

EME2040 Week 7 Discussion

#eme2040 We are reaching toward the end of this course and all of our rich discussions. Much of what we have covered is exciting and potentially quite powerful for student learning. It is important, however, to have a nuanced perspective on the changes, technologies, and phenomena as well in order that we keep focused on teaching, learning, pedagogy, and most importantly student safety in the digital age.

Reflect back on our readings and discussions, and express a practical way forward to implement some of these techniques and tools for learning while simultaneously keeping students safe from any threats or misuse of the technologies.
