As a teacher

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 14, 2011

This past Thursday, I was given the opportunity to present on a really cool, but obscure topic — creating mobile applications from Photoshop prototypes, for the World Usability Day Conference.  Essentially, my job was to show people a workflow that is possible when using Adobe Device Central to create a Photoshop file, that is then turned [...]

Computing in the Cloud… A thought

1 Comment Posted by on May 25, 2009

Innovation in Education

1 Comment Posted by on May 4, 2008

Education,Innovation,Technology This post is inspired by the MSU IT Conference Keynote by Gerry McCartney. The education sector in this day and age has really fallen behind in its traditional role of innovation in the IT field.  Lets take a look at some history first: Back in the 60′s and 70′s there were two camps as [...]

MSU IT Conference, etc.

1 Comment Posted by on May 4, 2008

MSU,IT,AIS,ACNS,ATS,Conference Well, the MSU IT conference is long and gone, so I’d figure I would write some sort of review of it. All in all, it was a very well run and organized conference.  A conference consisting only of the people that you work with seems weird to people who work in small to medium [...]

On Wednesday, April 23rd, I will be traveling long and hard to speak at the MSU IT conference, just down the road from my office.  [...]
