Welcome to WiTTIE and my user page
I am the course instructor for ECI 301 at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA and the principal investigator for Project WiTTIE.
I am happy you are here and participating in one of our projects. Our mission is to help students learn from one another. We envision WiTTIE as a tool to help students create original materials through which they can help others learn about the world around them.

Miscellaneous
I have three kids. My eldest son, 7, is in 2nd grade, my daughter, 3 1/2 is in pre-K at ODU Child Study Center, and Baby Jonah (9 months at the start of the semester) is currently attending Harvard Medical School. As any mom will tell you kids change the way you spend your time. In my past life I loved to travel internationally, go out dancing and tear up the town. (I absolutely recommend spending time aborad - especially teaching abroad. Check out the link to Superkids if you like little kids. They are always looking for good teachers!) Nowadays, I spend a lot of time talking about dinosaurs and Superheroes. I still love to throw crazy theme parties and I really enjoy being outside (unless there are mosquitos).
This is my second year teaching full time at ODU and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I love working with pre-service teachers. Teachers' work is to shape the future. I am honored to be one of the many influences on the future teachers here at ODU. My goal is to help teachers contemplate how they will affect the future: to consider what kind of impact they will have on the students they teach.
