I currently work as director of information tech at Buckingham Browne & Nichols School in Cambridge, and also do consulting to help schools more effectively implement educational technology. In my spare time I manage the 5,000 member Independent School Educators Network and maintain the ISE Wiki. In all of this I strive to implement information and communication technologies...

for student learning,
professional development,
and organizational excellence.

Prior to BB&N, I rolled out a one-to-one tablet PC initiative at Battle Ground Academy in Tennessee and before that managed the educational technology of one-to-one laptops at Norwood School in Maryland for seven years. From 2008-2012 I served as chair of the NAIS technology & curriculum task force. In the 90's I was the technology coordinator at North Country School in New York, which is a small boarding farm school with an intense focus on community and ecology. I spent a year at Dwight-Englewood School in New Jersey as a second grade homeroom teacher and began my teaching career at a vocational high school in Boston with kids who had been suspended from the mainstream Boston public schools. I did my student teaching in an amazing kindergarten classroom in a small town in rural New Hampshire.  I have taught several graduate courses for Johns Hopkins University's school for educational technology, both online and in a more traditional classroom. My degrees are in technology, education, and art.
