Jason’s PictureJason Archer
My title is “Educational Media Designer”, but I do a bitmore. I have a background in marketing and Web design and development sprinkled in with video production and writing. I’ve recently moved from the marketing side to the academic side and want to journal my journey in integrating the various technologies into teaching here at a small liberal arts university in the midwest. This site is my little experiment to connect with other educational technologists, learning designers and people who care about integration of technology and teaching/learning.

Daniel ShackelfordDaniel Shackelford

Daniel has worked with technology in an academic environment for 10 years, across many platforms. Today he is a Systems Administrator, managing OS X , Windows, and Linux services, and developing solutions to the ever-changing problems in university infrastructure. While he likes and enjoys Mac OS X, he still uses Windows and Linux as well, and refuses to actively participate in the cult of Mac. If pressed, he will admit that he would rather be making cheese.
