Have taught classes ranging in size from 3 to 411 students. Have offered classes on the main campuses, after hours, at the Air Base, statewide over the interactive video network, using Wimba, and using Skype. Enjoy using classrooms that are technologically equipped so I can incorporate Elmo, PowerPoint, BlackBoard, and interactive cd-rom technologies into my class presentations when appropriate.
