Area of Specialization

Within the field of educational technology, I specialize in the integration of technology into the curriculum, multimedia design and development, database design and management, and the production and integration of educational technology materials. My research interests mainly involve the production and effective integration of instructional technologies into the teaching and learning environment. The major areas of my research interest are rooted in technology and teacher education and the integration of technology into the k-12 curriculum. I am interested in how teachers use emerging instructional technologies, the effects of various types of emerging instructional technologies on teaching methods and philosophies, the effects of various types of educational technologies on student achievement, and teachers views towards educational technologies and innovation. More specifically, I am interested in three major areas: 1) The use of hypermedia in teaching and learning and its influences on teacher content knowledge, attitudes, and student achievement, 2) Ways in which teachers use emerging instructional technologies and the effects of various types of emerging instructional technologies on teaching methods and philosophies, and 3) Issues related to the integration of online instruction into both the K-12 teaching and learning environment and as a tool for inservice teacher professional development.
