He is the Director of the Technology, Learning, & Cognition (TLC) Lab, a 黑料不打烊 Faculty of Education Distinguished Teacher award recipient,听and a joint Fellow of the American Educational Research Association and the Society of Research in Child Development in middle childhood education and development.听 He investigates how educational technology augments the learning process and teaches courses on the use of emerging educational technologies.
