Research and Special Interests:
Currently looking into finding a way to do a study using the new Pixel Plus interactive touchscreen used by CNN in the science classroom.
I am also looking into updating schools to the 21st Century. I have a plan in the works, but it will require doing a study, getting funding and pushing districts to expand their technology investment.
I also am interested in doing a NSF study to see if we get a difference in motivation by starting a High School Chemistry course with the KMT and Gas Laws rather than the current curriculum that calls for Atomic Theory and History to be used first.
