Welcome!

Hello, everyone!

My name is Kim, and I live in Louisville, Kentucky.

I have been using computers since I was in my high school's Computer Science club in the 1970's--before personal computers existed. While I majored in French in college and in my first round of grad school, I turned to computers when I could not find a job teaching French. I now teach in the Computer Science department of a private university.

I taught French as a Distance Education course (by snail mail!) for several years while in grad school, and now I teach and design online courses in Computer Education courses--mostly Microsoft Office, but also database design and HTML. My department is in the process of putting several degree programs entirely online, so I am doing this degree to help with that. I am also very interested in learning new ways to incorporate technology into the concepts classes that I am responsible for.
