About Me
I am an Associate Professor of Education at Mount St. Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y., where I have taught for the past 9 years. At the Mount, I offer courses in Curricular Planning, Methods of Teaching, Nature of Schools and Society, Literacy & Technology, and Teaching with Technology. I also serve as counselor to Kappa Delta Pi chapter, the International Honor Society in Education. I have become increasingly recognized for the leadership in the application of emerging Internet technologies to education. I ran workshops on application of Smart Technologies (I am a Smart Board certified trainer) and of Web 2.0 tools to the American classroom for faculty and teachers from education programs across the northeast.
Prior to coming to the Mount, I was visiting professor at Ramapo College of N.J. for two years. In my native Russia, I was professor of education at Volgograd State Pedagogical University, where I also served as Dean of the School of Foreign Languages. During my 25-year Russian career, I was known for my work in innovative approaches to teaching. I was a Montessori trainer, and have run seminars and training programs for Montessori teachers in Russia and the U.S. I played a key role in creating a model Ecological Gymnasium and other experimental “charter schools.” A number of my Ph.D. students and scores of Masters students worked with me to produce comparative studies of successful innovative efforts in education.
Beyond the seventy books and other publications I published in Russia and abroad, I have written for and presented to a growing list of professional audiences in the U.S. and abroad. My most recent achievements were chairing and presenting workshops in Mexico, Spain, Russia, Czech Rep. on Moodle and Web 2.0 technologies and their impact on education, learning and teaching.
