Dear All,
This is my first post to the list, so Mike asked that I introduce myself...
Currently, I teach in the Instructional Design & Technology Program in the
School of Education at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, USA)...my current crop of
courses includes Multimedia & Cognition, Instructional Multimedia Design &
Development, and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)...in each
of these courses, particularly the CSCL course, I draw from the work of
scholars in the semiotic tradition including Pierce, Dewey & Vygotsky...
My current research investigates the interrelationships of constructionist
pedagogy (i.e., knowledge-building), social organization (e.g.,
collaborative problem-solving), and instructional artifact (e.g., virtual
manipulatives) in the early elementary (PreK-3) classroom...Iıd be happy to
hear from others who have similar or tangential interests and hope that I
can contribute likewise...
In relation to my introduction, Iım forwarding an announcement regarding
open assistantships for new Ph.D. students in our program for Fall 2007...if
you know of someone who might be interested, I would appreciate your passing
this along...please find the announcement below the signature...donıt
hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions...
Looking forward to participating on the list!
Michael~
