Welcome to my home page. This is my personal website. I have many interests, so this is a collection point for most of it. I teach at a community college in Arizona. You can read more about work on my vita or on my work page, which is a feed from my Maricopa Experience blog. But it’s not all work and no play here. You can follow me on my training for a triathlon journey on my workout blog, Salad is NOT an Entrée.

fxcd0101.JPGI have been using the web for many years now, and as a result I have many blogs, wikis and webpages. Here’s a list. I have way too many to be able to do a good job maintaining them all. I’m very fascinated by the web and the new trend of social networking, so I’m constantly trying out new tools and sites. I have to admit that I don’t fully understand it all, but I’m trying.

I am a big advocate for the use of technology in the classroom, and I have several websites to share some of what I’ve learned and what I use in my teaching. Click to tabs above to explore my podcasting page, which is a feed from my Podcasting in Education blog. I’ve been doing a lot of research on podcasting and many other Web 2.0 technologies that have popped up on the web lately. I keep a pretty good list of bookmarks on del.cio.us.

Interesting facts about me:

  • I’m a Mac lover, PC tolerator, so I do things differently.
  • I like to stay fit, so I ride bikes, hike, run, swim, and play as much as I can.
  • I went to college on a track scholarship. And I ran cross country.
  • Besides the computer, I love other technology. I have a Tivo and a ReplayTV box because I couldn’t decide on which, so I bought both. Funny thing is, I don’t watch much tv.
  • I love watching all sports, live and on television. Go Suns! Go DBacks! (still mad about the color change and price hikes).
  • I love to read trashy romance novels. If only I had more time.
  • I hate cats, but I had one named Cupcake (Don’t ask). We had to put Cupcake to sleep. :-(

The two most important women in my life:

My Blackberry is not a woman, or I would have listed it here too!
Rest in peace, Cupcake.
