Welcome comments

This is my first blog, so initially I limited who could see it. I am now opening it up to further my knowledge and experience. I am an educational technologist at a small community college and adjunct faculty teaching general psychology. My area of passion is learning. I have recently, as evidenced by my posted podcast, dug into Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences as it applies to learning styles. I am experimenting with various technologies to determine which ones meet the widest range of my students. I plan to use blogs, podcasts, clickers and any other media that will encourage my students to engage more fully with the material. This will hopefully encourage more lively discussions and enable my students to apply psychological principles to their own lives to enrich them. Any pointers, observations, cautions, and advice from professionals with experience in these matters as well as students who have experienced these types of efforts are welcome.

My first Podcast

Here is my first time creating podcasts. Let me know what you think.

Psyched out and Teched up

Welcome to my Psych psyte! I teach psychology, (big surprise) and I am also an Educational Technologist, so I like to use technology in teaching and learning. I will use this blog to share my experiences and observations of the world. I hope you enjoy my world. I have begun to create podcasts about learning and will discover how to share these with you.
