Hello, I am developing and teaching this Mathematics Curriculum Development course at Arcadia University. I have about fifteen years of experience developing programs and courses for helping people to learn mathematics and to engage in research. I design, develop and write about learning experiences for diverse people and situations: early algebra games for pre-K groups of children; Math Clubs and the Family Online Studies for family-centered communities; classes and seminars for k-20 and graduate students; and seminars, workshops and classes for pre-service and in-service teachers. I started several online educational communities, including the [|Natural Math network] and the Math 2.0 Interest Group. I am a member of several hundred online educator networks. I have BS in Mathematics from Moscow State University, MS in Applied Mathematics from Tulane University and PhD in Mathematics Education from NCSU. My studies have been supported by grants, and published and presented nationally and internationally.

I live in Cary, North Carolina with my husband of twenty years and our daughter. I like to read science fiction and fantasy. My favorite computer games are MMORPGs and puzzles. Of the arts, I like drawing, folding origami, and drumming. For physical activities, I do amateur climbing and parkour. If you do a video conference with me, you are likely to see a dog and a parrot who live in my home office.
