Research Topics:

I spent four years doing research in educational technologies, mostly for middle school instruction. I have pursued several promissing technologies for in-school and out-of-school learning:

Computer learning environments: I co-authored three grant proposals for a series of science learning games called "SciThink."
One-to-one laptop computing: I co-authored an evaluation of one-to-one laptop program in three culturally diverse schools, supported by extensive statistical analysis and graphs.
Artificial intelligence (AI) in education: My dissertation research in classroom use of automated writing evaluation indicates that AI can either enhance or undermine constructivist pedagogy, depending on how it is implemented.
Educational visualization: My first two journal publications concerned a high-tech visualization environment for engineering and computer graphics education.
