Doctoral Graduation Photos

Here is a video and several photos from my graduation at University of Central Florida on December 13, 2019, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Education. What a wonderful day!

Thanks to my advisor Dr. Richard Hartshorne, my wife Kristy, and the preservice teachers, faculty, and staff at UCF that made my research possible, as well as Dr. Gary Mottola at the FINRA Investor Education Foundation and other academics who provided feedback on my dissertation, A Survey of Investing and Retirement Knowledge and Preferences of Florida Preservice Teachers.

The above video is the official complete video of the morning commencement session. I appear at 1:08:56 in the video. It should start at this point when played.

I will continue in Spring 2020 to teach EME 2040: Introduction to Technology for Educators to future teachers at UCF, as an adjunct faculty member. I will also be writing articles and further exploring the survey data I collected for my dissertation, A Survey of Investing and Retirement Knowledge and Preferences of Florida Preservice Teachers.

Newly Released 2012 Photos

2012 October 21: Hello, I have uploaded 110 new photos to Facebook but haven’t posted them here yet. If you are a user of Facebook you can view them here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150278643383526.330956.593538525&type=3 (you do not need to be friends with me).

These photos are mostly from San Francisco and the Montery Bay Aquarium from my trip to California in July, 2012. There are some from May and June, also.

I need to find a WordPress plugin or code one to make it easier to post photos here. I might not get to it until the end of the year, and I might just start posting photos without bothering to tag them, describe them, and upload stock versions.
