I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Elementary Education at Stephen F. Austin State University. I am interested in the intersection of global education and technology in primary/elementary schools. I am particularly interested in how this discourse unfolds in developing nations like India. Over the 2010-2011 academic year, I lived in Bangalore, India, and collected dissertation data on how an economic cross-section of Bangalore's elementary schools were using computer technology in their schools. My other research interests include: cognition and technology, digital storytelling, global competencies, global education, girls education in developing nations, increasing teacher professionalism via web-based tools, motivation, Social Construction of Technology Theory (SCOT), and Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge Theory (TPACK).
