I am happy to be a member because of the excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, learn, and contribute. I am a retired professor of education, have taught technology in education, educational psychology, and taking seminars on use of technology. I have just taken a certificate program on teaching online. I have been studying the effects of technology use on students and on communities.

In my teaching role I teach Sociology courses (intro, social problems, sociology of aging, minority relations, sociology of families, research methods) to in traditional, hybrid, and online formats. In my Instructional Support role I work with faculty to integrate technology into their teaching. I manage and teach a variety of academic technologies including Blackboard, Qualtrics, Turnitin, RefWorks, Chalk & Wire ePortfolios, and CoursEval to name a few.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed our work last year and am looking forward to this years progress.<br />

Hello,<br></br>
I go by Jay (not John). (That TV guy on the Daily Show spells his name "Jon". ) I teach sociology at the University of Hartford and have been here since 1984. I was at Washington State University three years before that, but my wife could not find an academic job there, so she picked the next place. She's at UCONN-Storrs and we feel so lucky to have two academic, tenured jobs close to each other.<br></br>
<br></br>

Hello,<br/>
I go by Jay (not John). (That TV guy on the Daily Show spells his name "Jon". ) I teach sociology at the University of Hartford and have been here since 1984. I was at Washington State University three years before that, but my wife could not find an academic job there, so she picked the next place. She's at UCONN-Storrs and we feel so lucky to have two academic, tenured jobs close to each other.<br/>
<br/>
I generally teach the much hated courses on methodology and statistics, as well as social change and social inequality.<br/>
<br/>
I have not done any on-line teaching, but have dabbled a bit in multimedia techniques. Initially I was trained on SuperCard, which was similar to the old Mac Hypercard. Supercard went out of business, so I taught myself a little DIRECTOR and my "Levels of Measurement" tutorial is one example, which is located here:<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/JSTEWART/DIRECTOR.htm" target="_blank">http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/JSTEWART/DIRECTOR.htm</a><br/>
and listed in Merlot. It should probably be listed in the sociology--methodology section of Merlot. I decided that DIRECTOR was not the best programming tool for what I needed and have been learning another Hypercard based program: Revolution, which has just changed its name to LiveCode. I am using it to program a game that I hope to use in my social inequality class.<br/>
<br/>
I do very simple web pages for various groups, such as the University's Outing Club, which I am trying to start, and a conference on Women and Peace.<br/>
<br/>
I hope to participate more in this group and accomplish my tasks better after a conference this Saturday 10/16. I got talked into presenting on a topic (history of energy and oil) that I know very little about, so it has eaten up most of my spare time.<br/>

We all looked at these on the call today. They are really incredible. Mike, I forgot to ask if you are going to add these to MERLOT (the home page). If not, I can do it.

Here are some really valuable online video websites. The first, Mindgate Media, links to video across the entire curriculum whereas the second, The Sociological Cinema, is focused on sociology.<br />

And I had the pleasure of meeting with Margaret face to face at our conference in San Jose in July. It was good to talk to you, Margaret, as I'd already "met you" with the Sociology Taskforce. Glad to have you on board.
