Interactivity
The interactive session includes a trivia game that stimulates the audience to share their experiences, an exercise for discussing the kinds of games that they have played and designed, and a collaborative activity that organizes the recommendations of the participants.
If there is interest, we can schedule a Slippery Rock Falls game session after the conference.

As the District Technology Coordinator for Cornwall-Lebanon School District, I promote the integration of technology within curriculums to enhance student learning opportunities. Web 2.0 tools, cloud computing, and open source ideals create a new dynamic journey for education. The culture shift of technological transformations within the classroom offers a vibrant future for education.
My Master of Science through Philadelphia University in Instructional Technology laid my foundation to understanding instructional design, educational technology, and online learning. My Doctorate of Computer Science through Colorado Technical University focusing in Emerging Media adds to my experience in open source, cloud computing, futuring, and innovation.
As the Technology Coordinator, I supervise the organization of the district’s enterprise solutions. Our Technology Services offer innovative, customized solutions to provide our staff with the essentials they need to complete their objectives. We incorporate futuristic concepts within our network engineering, virtual professional development, collaborative communication, and all other aspects of the district.
My current aspirations include researching open source software project performance in sourceforge.net; creating dynamic content in virtual worlds (Second Life & multiple OpenSim worlds); exploring cloud computing; investigating cyber awareness & security; developing blended, hybrid, & virtual learning environments; and developing mobile apps.
