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.....

Game Based Learning w Gee c64 Style

Today I am doing a game-based learning presentation & discussion with a FSCJ student Cam Hayes.  I am an old, geeky educator, and Cam is a young, geeky World of Warcraft wiseman.  Together we will be sharing our thoughts on why we think it is crucial we start to adopt more authentic learning environments and experiences such as those being used for years by successful video games.

We will be leaning heavily on one of may favorite wisemen out there now, James Paul Gee.  If you are interested Google him and check out these links below...
