As a part of this project, students in 5th and 6th grade were given Windows CE devices to use for several years. Teachers in the project were involved in extensive staff development to help them adjust teaching and learning in a wireless environment. I have presented workshops on the Information Literacy Standards for Students and the National Educational Technology Standards for Students throughout the state of Iowa, in Nebraska and Missouri. I am a presenter for Harcourt Connect (formerly Classroom Connect) and have conducted workshops for them throughout the country. During 1998, I taught the Library Automation Systems and Networks class as well as the Educational Media class at the University of Northern Iowa. I was an adjunct instructor in technology for Viterbo College, LaCrosse, Wisconsin for seven years. I continue to teach for Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa and Morningside College, Souix City, IA.
