I’m a writer/editor by trade, so my bailiwick is to write everything down and work with others to get it properly designed, programmed, and published. I spent 10 years in-house at Holt, Rinehart & Winston in the Middle School Science Department. Then I joined some publishing cohorts to create a collaborative work environment to support a variety of publishers. My partners re-focused their efforts toward corporate programming, so I created Mad Eye Editorial to focus on my love for educational publishing and technology.
I’ve created virtual labs; e-learning lessons of every variety; critical thinking puzzles; habits of mind workbooks; literature resources; and science, social studies, and criminal ethics e-learning modules for students from elementary school on up to college. I’ve worked solo and managed teams of people to accomplish projects large and small.
Mosts recently, the iPad has knocked my socks off! Every day I learn a bit more about what that exciting new technology can do. I had the great good fortune of helping a group of teachers get a set of iPads to use in their special ed classrooms, and am blown away by their stories from the classroom.
I look forward to doing more teacher training as well as to creating the best possible new products using the latest super-cool technologies. So it’s time to expand my horizons!
It seems only fitting to begin this journey by creating a blog! The purpose of this blog is to record my experiences and to solicit feedback from classmates, friends, and the public about their experiences learning about or with educational technology or using educational technology.
