    I frequently share presentations about copyright, fair use, and intellectual property particularly as these issues apply to podcasting, digital storytelling, and publication of other new/social media artifacts. I am well versed on Creative Commons licensing and use as well.

    I am a co-director of our statewide "Celebrate Oklahoma Voices" oral history and digital storytelling project, which involves using portable digital audio recorders, digital cameras, and free software programs like Audacity and PhotoStory to create short oral history digital stories.

    I utilize and teach about the use of a variety of web 2.0 tools as well as software programs for blended learning.
