Profile Information
- About Me
- Rich is a leader in the field of immersive education with advanced technical knowledge of hardware and software solutions as well as possessing a deep understanding of the taxonomies and pedagogies of using 3D virtual worlds in the K-12 educational setting. Having coined the terms ''Mobile Immersive Learning Labs'' and ''Quick Cave'' to describe highly immersive physical learning spaces for 3D virtual worlds in the K-12 educational setting and ''Immersive Touch'' to describe the learning process of directly manipulating 3D virtual learning objects using interactive surfaces (read more about Edusim) , Richard recognizes the importance of not only software but also hardware considerations as they relate to 3D virtual worlds and immersive environments in the K-12 setting.
As a result of Richard's work as a solutions architect with immersive touch in 3D virtual environments on interactive surfaces for learning, several organizations world wide have deployed systems based on his designs, developments, and ''immersive touch'' concepts. Some of these organizations include Texas A & M, The Florida Aquarium, Interknowlogy and the Norrkoping Visualization Center.
Richard has also instructed and worked on design projects with such organizations as Polyvision, Smart Technologies, Appalachian State University, Duke University, Tulane University, Boston College, The Cobalt Consortium, and the Grid Institutes Immersive Education Project

Love to join you and co-teach a session with you dear friend at ISTE 2010!
I'm very glad to be here. I wanted you all to know that I'm trying to put together a "Birds of a Feather" session ... which I guess is the first step in putting together a Special Interest Group (SIG) for Literacy because apparently there isn't one…
A place to share web 2.0 literacy tools, best practices, tips and tricks of the trade, and how to hook your administrators and educators to use the web 2.0 literacy tools effectively and efficiently in K-12 education.
Susanna- we are so glad you have joined our group and look forward to your sharing of resources to make us a stronger community of educators!
WOW- I've just been reading the few posts on the first page and I'm already so excited to have joined this group!! I just joined ISTE on Friday (had to wait until I had enough money to do so) and this was the first group other than the BOF group tha…
Hi Sarah! (My daughters name is Sara!) I do think our topics are very similar... but I also think that there is so much within each topic ...research- and yours- you could even integrate dual language as well- do you think adding on Literacy would b…
Come help members of the TIE Colorado board make plans for New Frontiers, TIE's 2011 conference. We will acknowledge the success of our ISTE 2010 presenters, and remind you about social gatherings for TIE and with our regional partners (AZ, WY, UT,…
Help us plan birds-of-a-feather sessions or request a meeting time for your group at ISTE 2010.
I think our aims are very similar--innovating language instruction, language arts instruction, and the advocacy of instructional technology/literacy across curriculum. Perhaps our Birds of of the same nest?
SIG-LITERACY:OK- I'm going to try this again... I thought I sent a message just a minute ago but I don't know if it posted. What I had mentioned was that I think it is very important to create a Special Interest Group around the topic of Literacy. W…
Just saw your note...I am offering a BIRD on the subject of innovation to language instruction (specifically Second Language and the core skills--READING, WRITING, Listening & Speaking). Comment on my link with any other thoughts. We are in agreemen…
