Consulting


Blackboard has been a part of my classroom for the past twelve years. I have used it since Version 3.0 was out and have watched it develop over that time into a priceless part of my curriculum.  I have stumbled in the past, reconstructed, and refined my courses to where I feel very comfortable knowing that they could help enhance other classrooms.  I enjoy sharing my experiences with others and helping them enrich their teaching practices. This can be done through Blackboard, Podcasts, Video, Skyping, and Classroom Performance Systems.  Take these along with adaptive release units and and a bit of creativity and a course can be designed to reach almost any student.


I am available for Introduction to Blackboard Workshops, Intermediate Blackboard, Advanced Blackboard, Adding Multimedia to Your Course, Technology In the Modern Day Classroom, or Incorporating Technology to Enhance Diversified Learning sessions.  These can be arranged on an hourly, half day, full day, multiple days, or a weekly basis.  Please contact me for prices and further information.

I have listed below some of the previous sessions I have conducted.
