Like all progressive teaching and learning, it should flow from current understandings of cognitive neuroscience. It should invite and enable higher order thinking, more creative thinking, learning and expression. It should engender more intense investment and engagement by the student. It should enable collaboration and connection, extrapolation, projection, analysis, demonstration, and closer, tangible interaction with the subject under study. It should transport the student to places, experiences, modes of thinking, cultures, and people otherwise impossible to reach. <br />EDUCATION<br />Earlham College, Bachelors - with Honors - Major: Religion; Minor: Physics<br />Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary<br />Earlham School of Religion, Masters<br />MCSE certification courses, New Horizons Computer Learning Centers: <br />Implementing Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure, 2003<br />Implementing Wndows 2000 Pro and Server, 2003 <br />“Learning and the Brain: Modern Brains – Enhancing Student Memory and Performance in Today's Distracted Digital Society”, co-sponsored by Harvard, MIT, Nov 20-22, 2009 Cambridge, MA<br />Platforms: Windows Server 2008/2003/2000/NT4, Windows 7/XP/2000/9x, IIS, SQL Server, MS Terminal Services, Mac OS <br />Networking: TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, Active Directory Integrated DNS, WINS, NetBEUI, Cisco switches/APs/routers/firewalls <br />Enterprise: Active Directory, Cisco VOIP/Call Manager & WLAN Controller, Exchange Server 2003/2000 Enterprise, Backup Exec, <br />Tools: MySQL, NOD32/Symantec/AVG/Computer Associates antivirus, Ghost, Microsoft Visio/Project <br />Software: MS Office Suite ‘03/’07/’10; Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, QuickBooks, many academic applications, <br />Hardware: HP, Toshiba, Cisco, Liebert/HP UPS, Desktops, Laptops, video conferencing, HP printers/plotters, A/V Equipment.<br />PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:<br />2010 Academic Technology Consultant (ATC)– University of Colorado, Boulder, CO<br />Guide University faculty from four colleges (Business, Architecture & Planning, Education, Arts & Sciences) in the use of technologies for teaching, research, and creative works through <br />consultations, trainings, referrals about technologies such as <br />student response systems, learning management systems, collaboration software, digital images, video, audio, messaging, applications and classroom presentation tools.<br />Designed and managed interactive, hands-on evaluation process for CU’s new learning management system, including vendors and university community participants.<br />Assessed the colleges' instructional technology needs and to address instructional technology issues and resolve problems as they arise. <br />Identify technology-enhanced learning tools and assist faculty in exploring and using them. <br />Represent faculty needs to university administration. <br />Gather data and provide feedback about successes and areas for improvement of ATC work. <br />1985-present Owner/Operator – CMI Associates, Arvada, CO;<br />Scope includes: <br />Consultation<br />computer training for education, business & home <br />Mac & Windows, Internet, HTML, Web Page Constr., most Microsoft applications, various LMS’, SIS & CAD applications, Quickbooks Pro, Network Admin., et al<br />Training and program consultations - advising & revitalization of government and community based training programs: <br />Organizational structure, budgets, grants, curriculum, policies<br />Seminars/programs/presentations.<br />Contract Systems Administration, Technician services, Project Management<br />2004-2009 Technology Director – Denver School of Science and Technology, Denver, CO<br />DSST was the only quot;
