Performance Analysis
Our team analyzed the 9/11 Commission Report from a performance technology perspective. We found that the critical flaw in security was a lack of horizontal cross agency information sharing. This was a graduate school project.

Student Learning Outcomes
I consulted with teacher Eric Sandquist to help him identify the student learning outcomes for his Astronomy 101 class. I interviewed his student, Hassan Ergene, to find out what his experience of the class had been.
The purpose of this project was to demonstrate SDSU’s commitment to learning outcomes and results and was part of their 2006 reaccreditation process.

Game Design
Our team of four designed this game for fourth to sixth graders. It has been successfully used in a social studies classes. Playing this game is a fun and interesting way for students to practice map-reading skills. It is also a great game to include during a social studies unit about Alaska. Prerequisites: teach students how to read a map legend and find directions on a map before introducing this game. The game can be used along with discussions about map-reading, situations they encountered along the trail during the game, the terrain in Alaska, and what it would be like to race in the Iditarod.
