About Me
Formerly: Sr. Educational Technologist/Program Manager: Yahoo! For Teachers

I'm an educational technology consultant, speaker, and author specializing in digital & social media, mobile technology, Gen Y, e-learning, educational media and online communities.

I've designed and developed online communities, e-learning courses and model curriculum for clients in both the corporate and non-profit sectors. In addition, I've also designed and led a series of national workshops where I've taught educators how to integrate social/new media technologies into the classroom.

I've also taught at the Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) at Pepperdine University in the MA in Education Technology program.
