I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in accounting information systems in the Department of Accounting and Information Systems of Rutgers Business School - Newark and New Brunswick. I anticipate to complete my Ph.D. in the spring of 2011. My research interests include fraud detection, continuous audit, and technology-enhanced instruction.

True education is real, that is to say useful in students' lives outside the classroom regardless of their field of study. I believe students come first and have the right to a great education - an education that encompasses a balance of academics, real-world exposure, high expectancy from themselves and from me their instructor, rigor, and an environment where they have the opportunity to succeed. Students learn in different ways and by incorporating all of the tools that are at my disposal, I hope to help them stay on the cutting edge. I feel that student success in the classroom leads to more success and that will, in turn, benefit our university, our community, and our world.
Google Apps For Dummies
If
you've been wondering why I've been a bit lax on updating my blog in the
past few weeks (okay, months), it's because I've been very much involved in
school... and travel to
Hawaii... and writing a little book called "Google
Apps For Dummies" with my good friend Karl Barksdale on the side.
So I'll blame my complete lack of blog updates to the overwhelming detail
and humor that have gone into creating this amazing tome.
Now, mind you, this book is chock full of random and amazing stuff that will take you cleverly through the epic journey of Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Talk and help you make the most of these amazing tools. I'm not too biased, of course, having worked as a trainer at Google, so you can expect only the best information and goodness. And if that weren't enough, we even cover the brand new Google Apps Team Edition, which lets you get going right away with Google Apps using your existing company or school email account.
Don't trust me, though. It's on Amazon.com so it has to be real, right? Expect to see all of the black-and-yellow goodness at your local bookstore this April!
