Technology Use in Courses
- I developed IUP's first online
writing and literature courses.
- These days I teach all my courses
using computers and web materials (plus the occasional burst of
unbridled teacher enthusiasm and old fashioned chalk dust!)

Online
Course Sites: This site lists links to course materials I have
posted on the web for students. You are welcome to borrow this
material for your own teaching purposes (but please just throw in a
link to my home page and a reference somewhere to give me a little
credit).
Student
Web Projects
My writing courses
regularly include an online component. I want my students
to have a chance to share their writing with an audience
beyond one teacher, so I teach students how to publish
their writing on the Internet and how to create web
pages. Of course, many of the students quickly surpass my
technological skills and create highly advanced web
sites. In fact, some of my students have even turned a
course web project into a full time job. Several sample
projects by students are listed below under the
appropriate classes. You can also view a large group of web projects by

Internet-Based
Teaching History
I've been using the
Internet in my writing courses since 1996. For
information about my early experiences, click here:
I should also thank retired IUP
Professor Mary Miko who taught the first workshop I ever attended on how
to teach with web pages. She literally changed my entire teaching life!

Professional
Background
- I worked as a professional
technical writer for 5 years writing computer manuals for IBM,

SimCity
Or Another Way of
Putting It
I've been teaching with technology
since the Internet was just a pup, and he's getting to be an old dog
now. If you want the full story, you can read:
