About

I am an Associate Professor in the Graduate Program in Educational Technology at New Jersey City University, where I have been working since 2001. Before teaching college, 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 consulted for educational organizations, universities, online programs, and school districts as a curriculum consultant, workshop leader, and external evaluator for grants.

I have my BA and MA in English Literature from Rutgers and my Doctorate in Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University. I’ve written numerous articles and give presentations on educational technology. I am coauthor of the book Teachers as Technology Leaders (ISTE, 2006) and author of National Educational Technology Standards for Students: Units for the English Language Arts (ISTE, 2008).
