Welcome to the homepage of the Texas KANSAN! I am an elementary educator in Lubbock, Texas, and (among other things) am interested in learning better ways to integrate technology use in the classroom. I have published a variety of original papers relating to: the POW/MIA issue Latin American security issues K-12 classroom technology integration My perspective on computer operating systems is now online (under construction, of course).

"For those of us who passionately defend the Macintosh, it's not simply a matter of clockspeed. It's about quality, intelligent interfacing, innovation, and individuality. If you take the time to learn both major platforms, you can get similar results in the end. The Macintosh is, however, much more efficient. It is better engineered. It is more reliable. How many people do you hear speaking passionately about their PC's...........or any product for that matter?"
