About Me: For 28 years I have been working with technology, both in education and in private industry. I am currently starting my 6th year at The Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, where I serve as Director of Academic and Information Technology.

PLP Experience: Two years ago I as a PLP fellow when the Kinkaid School had its first team go through this terrific program. That experience was a tremendous success both for all of member's of Kinkaid's team and for the school. As its final project Kinkaid's team re-engineered the school's summer technology professional development program. In the two years that the program has been running over 160 (of the school's 200 faculty) have attended the program. Further, those who have attended the sessions have reported that they both enjoyed what they learned and that it was making them think in new ways about their practice.

Having received a traditional liberal arts education, I am a strong advocate of the benefits it can provide. I think that, when wisely used, 21st-century tools only enhance the learning such an education can provide.

My B Side: In addition to being passionate about preparing kids to be life-long learners and 21st-century thinkers, I happen to greatly enjoy current alt-rock music. I enjoy it so much that I blog about it. Check it out!
