I have been a fan of Science since childhood. Astronomy and space travel were the initial fuel for my enthusiasm, and learning about other branches of science fed the excitement. My initial career path led through telecommunications software design and development, and that also was exciting. Teaching opportunities presented themselves. Gradually I realized that I wanted to be teaching Science.
I've had fun as we have explored several Educational Technology applications for EDCI 505. It has reminded me that teaching Science will really mean continuing to learn new technologies as well as new Science information.
The pages on this site (to the left) document the journey through this semester. Since my teaching certification will be Grades 7-12 Integrated Science, I chose lesson topics in Life Sciences, Chemistry, and Physical Sciences. Each page on the left includes a reference to the Science branches covered.
Photography is one of my hobbies. The images shown on the page headers are photos I have taken, with the exception of the picture at the top of the Desktop Movie page. One can find Science in photography, too.
