Welcome to my TWT (that's Teaching With Technology) Portfolio!

Technology exists - there is no hiding from it.  It has even made its way into our classrooms.  But how much technology is appropriate?  Can we really have too much of a good thing?  My research at Penn State involves exploring how new and innovative technological tools can enhance teaching and student learning in the introductory-level Earth Science classroom.  I encourage you to explore my TWT Portfolio more to learn about the tools I use and my thoughts about technology in education.

Feel free to surf through the tabs across the top.  The Blog is where I post my thoughts of new technologies I hear about and experiences using tech tools.  My Philosophy focuses on the approach I take to using technology for teaching and student learning.  The Examples tab highlights different technologies I have used with examples.  The Courses tab lists the Earth Science, geoscience, and geography courses I have taught since beginning my position at Penn State Brandywine in 2001, along with technology-focused assignments.  You can review listings of my teaching awards and pedagogical publications focused on teaching with technology in the Scholarship tab.  Finally, a Links tab is provided for students to lean more about the software and applications.

Thanks for visiting!
