About: I teach a New Communication Technology course at Washington State University as a graduate student.
For that course, I run a Participatory Education Website.
I'm interested in new media & education, new media politics and civic engagement. Looking to learn more about new media research methods, topics, and issues. Also, to become part of the discussion. I attend university in a small town in the middle of open land (wikipedia: The Palouse) making me feel like I am (physically) disconnected from the conversation!
