I am working at Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota, Colombia. I am very interested in the John Dewey description of "experience" as not merely connecting to prior knowledge but existing as a possible future, and most importantly what that means for our use of iPads as instruments of creativity and online learning system management as an extension of our collaborative learning spaces. I facilitate product based projects in third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms that culminate in a Spotlight Ceremony for students, teachers, and parents at our school. A multimedia learning process narrative accompanies each project. For an after school activity I manage an African and Afro-Colombian percussion workshop for students. I squeeze in some classical guitar before going to bed. I read on education voraciously. I love running.

I have taught in Lancut, Poland - Galveston, Texas - Cochabamba, Bolivia - Quito, Ecuador - Barranquilla and Bogota, Colombia.

Education seems to be a family thing...

...not to mention the aunts, uncles, and generations as far back as we can trace, all educators.
