Once there was a beautiful Rain forest. It had orchids,
Kapok trees and they were beautiful.

Here you will find some of the things I do, some the things I like and some of the things I find useful on the web. But first, lets get a traditional cup of Guatemalan café! Why Guatemalan? Because having been born there I know it is THE BEST CAFE in the world.
I work for the Center for Technology in
Teaching and Learning at
Rice University, in Houston, Texas.
I am, these days, concerned with education and with finding ways to integrate
computer technology and networks with it. Therefore, when I an not at a
meeting at the
Houston Independent School District,
I spend most of my time at Hogg
Middle School, an inner city school in the Houston Heights. My new
carrer started at the Rice
School.
However, I ocasionally have, and used to have, another life. I have a Ph.D.
in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Rice University. It was there that
my web work started as I wrote the second edition of the
Paper Wasp Behavioral Ecology pages.
While working on wasp DNA fingerprinting, I became involved in conservation work and started thinking that chasing biomolecules around was a senseless endevour if the sources of those molecules were being flushed down the drain because of environmental destruction. It was at that time that I became a parent/Rice University staff volunteer at the Rice School and created the BioEsfera Project . Working closely with twleve teachers at the Rice School I decided that I could make a bigger difference by becoming involved with education through technology, than in any other way. The rest is history. Well, sorta.
The tiles below will lead you to some of my work and things I like.
