Interview Podcast for World AT Ways About some of my Internet Projects

Dr. Kevin Gaugler, Department Chair of Modern Languages at Marist College and Barbara Lindsey, Director of the Multimedia Language Center at the University of Connecticut, asked me if they could interview me and publish a podcast on some of the innovate ways my students have been using technology to facilitate learning. They run the blog World AT Ways which explores online technologies in support of language learning and teaching and intercultural competencies.

"To behave like a teacher, you have to believe that the thinking time of other teachers is precious — so much that it's a moral duty for you to share resources, overcome challenges and then share your solutions just so other teachers can overcome new challenges instead of having to perpetually re-address old ones."
-My Adaption of a quote by Eric Steven Raymond

"I always say, better ask forgiveness than permission."
-Grace Hopper

"Focus on your strengths, delegate your weaknesses"
