Barry Peddycord III, USA, Higher Education, Computer Science
I'm a graduate student at North Carolina State University pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science. I'm very interested in Computer Science (and Engineering) education, and how to leverage technology to help teach it.
The IsharaComix GradBlog - currently offline
A blog chronicling my adventures in Graduate School, learning, teaching, doing research, with an occasional break to do a little bit of cooking.
Maureen Ingram has been involved with parent participatory schools for some 20 years. She currently works as a mentor for new early childhood teachers and teaches a weekly mixed-age preschool class.
Maureen has a keen interest in open-ended exploratory learning, problem-solving with young children, social/emotional learning, and helping both parents and teachers understand their preschoolers. She is President of the Potomac Association of Cooperative Teachers (which provides training opportunities for early childhood educators from D.C., Maryland, and Virginia).
MYI Early Childhood Reflections
I see this blog as a dwelling place for my enthusiasm about "all things early childhood." I teach 3 year olds and I love it. I also mentor new early childhood teachers.
I enjoy exploring why I do things a certain way - the "theory" behind the "practice." I'd love for this blog to be a soft place for teachers, parents, and caregivers to land, to consider a variety of educational topics, and perhaps help us understand little ones a little better.

I am a faculty member in the mathematics department at two American Universities in Lebanon, while pursuing my Ed.D. at St Louis University, in the US.
In 2004, I taught mathematics and Arabic language, face-to-face and online in the small rural and remote villages of Northwest Alaska. In Fairbanks, I was a research scholar, conducting research on distance education and providing training to faculty members on the effective use of technology in teaching.
Concerning technology, I have been using Blackboard, Elluminate Live, blogs and wikis. I received many certificates on distance education, and became a Certified Online Instructor (COI) and published few articles as well.
From 2007 to 2009, I lived in Saudi Arabia and taught mathematics to Saudi female students in a private American University. In addition, I was an active member in the Professional Development committee on campus.
Applications of Linear Algebra
The Linear Algebra course is based on the idea of matrices. The applications of matrices in this course seem abstract, dry and difficult to understand. Hence, I created a Blog and asked students to find real life use of matrices, which I think, will make the course a bit more enjoyable, fun and the blog might entice the learning process.
