//**About Me:**// Assistant Professor School of Education, Northwest Christian University Eugene, Oregon

We (my wife, four children, and five goats) moved to Eugene just four years ago. I taught high school for 17 years in California (and also taught teachers for five years during that time). When I grow up, I want to continue serving as a teacher. I especially love working with pre-service teachers on classroom management, instructional design and application of learning theory.

This coming academic year (Lord willing) I will teach Foundations of Education, Child and Adolescent Development, Technology in Education, Classroom Relations and Management, and a bunch of other stuff in both the undergraduate and graduate education programs at NCU.

I also served as the Program Advisor for NCU's M.Ed program and hope to complete my dissertation this coming academic year.

 * //Major Project: Educational Technology Wiki for Pre-Service Teachers//**

For my major project in this course, I will be designing and developing a wiki for EDUC 230, Technology for Teaching and Learning, which is one of the courses that I teach at NCU. The wiki will provide resources and instruction related to Fair Use and how teachers can legally and safely use copyrighted materials in the classroom. The wiki will feature a combination of existing resources along with original content.

August 8th, Been offline for a bit, since we are down in California. So I haven't been able to do anything for the past few days. We are in Pine Mountain Lake in Groveland, which is a small town outside of Yosemite. It's beautiful here, but internet connectivity can be iffy. We have been coming here (most summers) since I was a little kid. There is a great sandy beach, the water is warm and the sailing is great.

August 2nd, It was great to "meet" everyone online last night and see how everyone's projects came out. From my perspective, having the ability to engage in real time online is so much better than just reading text. I appreciate that Scot is willing to host live sessions. Here is the link to my wiki, [|ED 230 wiki] It is a work in progress, but the structure and content is all there. I will be working to make it more visually interesting as I move forward. Thanks again for a great class last night! All the best to everyone as you move forward in your professional service. A few of you had asked for a copy of the **Teacher's Matrix for Fair Use** that I talked about last night. Here it is

July 30th, Working on my project this morning. It is coming together, but I need to do some testing to be sure that it is easy to navigate and ensure that it is generally easy to use. I have a core of teachers that I used to work with, mostly in California. They include my brother Michael, my friend Chuck, Judy, Matt and some of my former master's cohort members from San Jose State. They are great about checking things out, making sure the links work and basically giving me honest, timely feedback. Having such people in your life is so great.

July 28th, oh, minor point....I PASSED MY COMPS.

In a word, relief. Now I get to start working on my dissertation. Work has slowed over the past couple of days on my project, I experienced a post-exam hangover of sorts, and yesterday I didn't do anything but work around the house and play with the children. It was wonderful.

July 26th, Wrapped written comprehensive exams last week and today I have my oral exams at 4:30.....let's hope it goes well. I have been chipping away at my wiki project for ED 230. I found some additional resources from my brother who is a teacher in California. He had some good resources, so I will see if I can adapt them to my audience. Otherwise, just working on developing a resource that students can easily navigate and not get lost in the details.

July 16th, Visited Amanda and Deb's Journals

I have my comprehensive exams on Monday for the EDFL program, so I will be spending the bulk of the weekend preparing myself for 10 a.m. Monday. There are three questions, one about research methodologies, one on leadership, and one on philosophy and ethical practice. I'll let you know how it goes next week!

July 13th, Ok, so I have been nailed lately by the work I am doing in the EDFL higher ed cohort. Specifically, I am in the middle of the Capstone course with David Brandt as well as completing a writing seminar with Ken Badley (plus this course....of course)....and prepping for comprehensive exams, which are Monday....So it has a wee busy this past week. Still, I have made progress. I created the first pass at the ED 230 wiki front page and created place holder for each of my students. I am also close to being done reviewing the existing content that I have for the course. I am also happy to report (and this will serve as my own personal reminder that Scot has some outstanding relevant content that I might be able to use for another unit within the ED 230 course...hooray for collaborative practice. It's been great being in Newberg, the sleepy little town that it is....it is great to see everyone that is here and reconnect with friends. More to come.... oh, btw, here is an image of the higher ed cohort, along with our special guest speakers....



July 6th, I have been reviewing my existing content that relates to Fair Use in the classroom and realize that much of what I have needs serious revision. This doesn't surprise me, but it does mean that I have my work cut out for me. As I reviewed the material I was reminded of how often new teachers have no idea how they can (and cannot) legally use copyrighted material without permission under the terms of Fair Use. There is a great deal that we can do with copyrighted materials when using them for educational use, but at the same time, we need to establish ethical practices that ensure that we don't put ourselves (or our school district) into a potentially vulnerable position. So I have reaffirmed my perspective that this project is both important and necessary for the professional preparation of teachers.

July 3rd, Well, I have been talking about setting up some online resources for my ED 230 class for some time now...So how convenient is it that I can turn a project in my EDFL 675 class into something that I can use in my professional life? It sounds good to me. Now I just have to get down to business. My plan is to start setting things up this week. It is critical that I begin ASAP since I have comprehensive exams looming and I have two other courses starting next week up at GFU. So I am hoping that by Wednesday I might have some kind of skeleton or outline going that I can work on. To date there are 15 students enrolled in the course which is about normal. I expect that the number could rise up to around 20....TTFN
