About me
I'm a graduate of Western Illinois University (WIU, Bachelor of Arts, Instrumental Music Education K-12 Special, 1982) and the University of Maryland University College (UMUC, Master of Distance Education, 2008).
I'm a technical writer, technical trainer, U.S. Navy veteran, former public school music teacher, social media enthusiast, and lifelong learner. I started tinkering with computers and software in 1983 and have been on the 'net since 1994.
I actively contribute to the UMUC MDE Student Lounge, I'm a mentor in the UMUC MDE Buddy Program, and I've served as Teaching Assistant for OMDE 601 Foundations of Distance Education and OMDE 608 Learner Support in Distance Education and Training.
I'm interested in personal learning environments, social learning networks, and innovative ideas for using social software to enhance learning. If you think we share similar interests, I'd like like to be in your network.
