Paul L. Myers

Here I am at beautiful Swarthmore College near Philadelphia preparing to embark on a week of Internet immersion. Here's a few tidbits about myself.

Personal

Married with 5 kids (21,17,13,12,2). Enjoy playing basketball, reading modern fiction, listening to jazz - but I rarely have time (see above).

Professional

Taught for 25 years (2 years in Uganda, 3 years in Kenya, 1 year in Malta, the rest in Atlanta). Currently chairman of the Math & CS Department at Woodward Academy (Private PK-12 with 2500 students) in Atlanta. Major curricular interests are mathematical modeling, data analysis/probability/statistics, effective and appropriate use of technology, internet.

Computer/Internet

Never have taken a formal computer course.
Program in BASIC/LOGO.
Playing with Internet about 1.5 years - got totally hooked after the Forum workshop at Berry College last summer.

Goals for the week

Proficiency with HTML.
Designing a course(Stochastic Geometry, Chance, Strategy & Conflict, etc.) with significant reliance on Internet resources.
