完成我在俄勒冈大学的本科学业后，我获得了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的数学博士学位。在俄勒冈大学教书前，我在密歇根州立大学教了四年的数学和计算机中心。
在那里，我在数学系和计算机中心任职， 担任了六年的计算机科学系的主任，又在教育学院的教师教育部门工作了20多年。
我职业生涯中的一些亮点包括为科技教育协会（ISTE）创立国际社会，担任其首席执行官19年，建立ISTE的旗舰出版物“学习和技术领先”，并担任了25年多的主编。
我是超过75名博士生的主教授或共同主教授。我曾经撰写或合著了50多本学术著作和数百篇文章。我出席了几百场世界各地的主题演讲会，讲座和研讨会。
最近，我创办了“信息时代教育”（IAE），一个致力于改善教学和世界各地所有年龄的人的学习的非营利性组织。IAE目前通过其wiki提供免费教材，每月出版两次的免费IAE通讯和IAE博客。它也出售它的一些材料，如Kindle电子书。
After completing my undergraduate work at the University of Oregon, I earned my doctorate in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I taught in the Mathematics Department and Computing Center at Michigan State University for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Oregon.
There, I had appointments in the Math Department and Computing Center, served six years as the first head of the Computer Science Department, and spent more than 20 years working in the Teacher Education component of the College of Education.
A few highlights of my professional career include founding the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), serving as its executive officer for 19 years, establishing ISTE’s flagship publication, Learning and Leading with Technology, serving as the Editor in Chief for more than 25 years.
I was a major professor or co-major professor for more than 75 doctoral students. I have authored or coauthored more than 50 academic books and hundreds of articles. I have presented several hundred keynote speeches, talks, and workshops around the world.
More recently, I founded Information Age Education (IAE), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving teaching and learning by people of all ages and throughout the world. IAE currently provides free educational materials through its Wiki, the free IAE Newsletter published twice a month, and the IAE Blog. It is also selling some of its materials as Kindle books.
