Marcie
is an Assistant Professor of Educational Technology. Her
current work includes the evaluation of technology infusion grants
and professional development practices both in local-area school
districts as well as programs for SDSU's preservice teacher education
program. In her own words, Marcie "tries to select projects
that reflect my views of professional development and the competencies
we all need to meet the demands of today's workplace.
As
an EdCenter Fellow, Marcie continues exploring technologies and
strategies for scaling up her quantitative approach to assessment
and evaluation. NPACI resources which may be brought to bear on
such efforts include the Sociology Workbench.
Eric
is currently a Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences.
He has also served as Director of CARRE, Director of the department's
Visualization Lab, co-founder of CIVAC, and has played a key role
in the Death Valley Visualization Project.
Eric
's goals as a Faculty Fellow will focus on establishing a high-speed
wireless-to-optical backbone link to support visualization and
collaboration in both research and education between the SDSU
Field Stations and the main SDSU Campus for the Distributed Interaction
and Visualization of Ecological Research Stations for Education
(DIVERSE).
Bob
is currently an Associate Professor in SDSU's Department of Educational
Technology. His current activities are in two main areas; Inquiry
Learning through participation in small experimental studies,
and Virtual Learning Environments. An example of the later is
