I was asked by faculty member at Rider University Susan Kadish to come to her class of education students in order to talk about how to use SmartBoards in the classroom. I had a lot of fun, and enjoyed sharing what I know about how to use interactive whiteboards.

In honor of my official transcript showing that I graduated from Rider University in December of 2009 with a Master of Arts degree in Organizational Leadership, I wanted to make a tree, a common symbol of knowledge and education. It also is one of the key elements of Rider’s brand. I used the pencil tool mostly, set to 50% smoothing, and shape: Triangle in to create the roots and trunk. I then used the ellipse tool in order to create many overlapping green circles, and path: unioned them for the foliage. To amplify the beauty of the branches, I set the foliage transparency down a bit. I made a background plane with a gradient with about 5 stops to create a natural, but muted, background.
This guy is ready for some low class, slimy, slicked back action. He just got done hanging out on the corner, and figured it was time to find some other way to get up to no good. I made a lot of use of Inkscape‘s clone tool here — I made essentially one ear (an ellipse to path), one curl of hair (a spiral to path), and one eye (a rectangle to path with a live path effect curve and a node edited bump for a pupil). His head is a manipulated rectangle to path. His shoulders and undershirt are the same. His mustache, ‘beard’, mouth, nose, ear hole, and slicked back sides are all quick pencil marks. I finished with a multi stop gradient in the background, and I duplicated the hipster, performed conversions of all of the shapes, clones and other elements to paths, then did a union which I blurred a bit and colored for a slight glow effect. Hella fun.
Event: Using Smartboards
Date: May 12th, 2009 at 9 am.
Venue: Rider University, Memorial 205
Abstract: Smartboards are new to Rider University, but a mainstay in primary schools. Teacher Education will gather to learn about what smartboards are, how they can best be used in the classroom, and become familiar with the interface, tools, and applications that make Smartboards a great device for teaching and learning.

Stephan worked with me to reveal tools and techniques (ethernet sniffers, etc.) for protecting children at home from online predators.
Dombrowski, S. C., LeMasney, J. W., Ahia, C. E., & Dickson, S. A. (2004). Protecting children from online sexual predators: Technological, legal, and psychoeducational considerations. Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 35(1), 65-73.
‘Abstract: Professional psychologists should more fully understand the dangers of online sexual solicitation and ways in which to protect youth from sexual predators who use the Internet. Although the Internet has many positive aspects, one of the most pernicious aspects is its potential use for online sexual predation. The Internet represents a medium that allows sexual predators access to countless children in a relatively anonymous environment. This article reviews the general strategies of sexual perpetrators and their characteristics, as well as the online strategies and characteristics of the cyber sexual predator. Information on how to protect children from this crime through a review of technological, psychoeducational, and legal considerations is provided. A description of the relevant laws as they relate to online solicitation and practicing psychologists is also provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)’
