My research has focused on the cognitive, aesthetic, and social aspects related to the design and use of computer based learning environments. I have worked extensively in the area of technology integration in teacher education and teacher professional development both in face-to-face and online settings. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) framework for teacher knowledge for technology integration (co-developed with Dr. Matthew J. Koehler), has been described as being “the most significant advancement in the area of technology integration in the past 25 years.” My other interests include online learning, cognitive psychology of science, visual literacy, and creativity. My work has received over $4 million in grants from national and international agencies.
