My wife joins the blogosphere so that her students will learn more about the environment

With an impending trip for the Earthwatch summit in Maryland, my wife, Jackie has joined the blogosphere. Her blog will focus on her research and her off-site education for her San Antonio James Madison environmental science and physics students. As a rookie blogger, Jackie will have to learn about such great tools as Budurl, Twitter and other social media tools that will help her get an audience for her online work. Today, she bought her own video camera for her research, so I will have to share with her how to post her videos online. Right now, I'll get her a Youtube account, but I will begin to look at other video sharing resources.

I am proud of my wife Jackie and her fellowship

I just got word that my wife, Jackie, has been named to an Earthwatch Fellowship. My wife teaches physics and environmental science at San Antonio James Madison. She'll be traveling to Baltimore for a week long field research experience after Thanksgiving.. Part of her fellowshp will include a live stream/blog to her students from her fellowship location.

My wife is a master teacher who has also been named as a Radio Shack Math, Science and Technology Teacher of the Year several years ago.  She also is the coach of the Madison National Oceanic Science Bowl team, a volunteer job that has she has held for years.
