About
Destiny has led Michael on a dual career path of both education and technology. The result is a hybrid individual with skills and perspective from both fields.

Michael specializes in web-based education and the educational use of open-source technology. He has presented at major conferences, and has consulted to schools districts and colleges. Michael received his B.A. in English from UCLA, and received his master’s degree in Educational Leadership, with emphasis on computer-based education, from Gonzaga University.

Michael;
I have created a Google site for my graduate class this semester. I will use it instead of WebCampus to contact students. Most of the syllabus info is there. I also created 12 communitary blogs (using announcement-type pages) for students to discuss scientific articles (A la Wood). The way these blogs will work is that each student will be responsible to find a current scientific paper that applies to a topic discussed in class. The rest of the students will have a week to place commentaries on that specific topic.
Could you take a look to see if the site structure makes sense? Send me an email at eabelsan@gmail.com to invite you as a collaborator to the site.
