EDSIG Educator of the Year

Thank You I have been an educator for over 35 years. Someplace along that line, I learned that education was more than teaching

My background I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa (Cedar Rapids) Did my undergraduate and masters at Winona State University in Winona Minnesota Taught high school math two years at West Grant Schools (rural Wisconsin) – and coaching basketball and baseball Taught high school math for five years at Keokuk (Iowa) High School Taught at Winona State for a two-years Then to Portland Oregon for 2 years (Mount Hood Community College) At Dakota State University (Madison SD) for 18 years And … now in my ninth year at Quinnipiac University

EDSIG / ISECON I completed my Ph.D. in 1990 from the University of Nebraska I knew I needed to keep learning and growing, and heard about ISECON My first ISECON was in Chicago in 1990 I didn’t know anybody So, when a ‘call for nominations’ to serve on the board came out, I nominated myself … and was elected!!! I was ISECON Chair in 1995 in St. Louis I was ISECON Chair in 1996 in Orlando I was ISECON Chair in 2003 in San Diego I was ISECON Chair in 2004 in Newport

More on EDSIG /ISECON I have been on the EDSIG board several times Served briefly as President As an information systems educator, I knew that I needed to be informed, and to keep up with my field and to improve For me, that meant EDSIG and ISECON!!!

Thoughts In the early 2000’s, I saw three converging forces:  Assessment  Accreditation  Curriculum I know I needed to be involved I have worked as an ABET IS Accreditation team visitor since 2004 I have worked on the Center for Computing Education Resource (CCER) assessment project since 2003 I have worked with many giants in Information Systems Education – many of whom have been previously recognized as EDSIG Educators of the Year

Challenges There are always challenges We have talked about outsourcing And we have talked about declining enrollments

Challenges “Despite the downturn in the technology sector in the early part of the decade, the outlook for computer and information systems managers remains strong. To remain competitive, firms will continue to install sophisticated computer networks and set up more complex intranets and websites.” (taken from: )

Opportunities We get calls, s, contacts from employers. The Demand is extremely strong The Supply is weak WE NEED MORE IS MAJORS

And … a great opportunity And … the ‘sun shining behind the storm clouds’... IS / IT tends to be recession proof. Our graduates WILL get jobs when other majors will not.

Education Thoughts We need to think about creating ‘significant learning experiences’ What are we teaching? Why are we teaching that? How do we teach? What are the ‘Higher Order Thinking Skills’ (HOTS)? How can we challenge our students to think at higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy?

More education thoughts How can we assess such learning? How can we excite students about IS / IT? How can we excite students with significant learning experiences?

More personal thoughts I started out as a mathematician I changed into a computer scientist I loved programming – the thrill of seeing code work I was an analytical person But … as I have aged – and seen computing change – I have changed. I am now more of a ‘cheerleader’, ‘integrator’, ‘spontaneous’, ‘catalyst’.

Final personal thoughts

Thanks to: Connie – my wife for 34 years. (and … has had to put up with me) My family Many great friends and mentors (to mention would take a long time … and I might forget somebody) And … thanks for God for ‘giving me the desires of my heart’!!!

Thank you all
