Bio
In 2005 I completed a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology and Media from Columbia University, Teachers College. While completing my Masters Degree I was awarded a Technology Fellowship. As a Technology Fellow I was challenged to train professors in the implementation educational technology in the classroom and online multimedia portfolio development.
Immediately following the completion of my Masters Degree I was hired as the Instructional Designer for BMW Group University Studios (Team Productions) which is located within the BMW Group of North America's (BMWNA) national headquarters. As the Instructional Designer for BMW Group University Studios I developed and wrote scripts for a variety of types of video programming ranging from consumer programming for BMWNA's website to internal training programs delivered through BMW University's online portal.
While at the Sundance Channel, as Senior Producer of The Green, presented by Robert Redford, I led the development of a sustainable lifestyle oriented portal. As a part of this project I developed the community by creating an area called the Eco-munity, the first Google map-based social network. This community was developed around the environmental issues highlighted in the Sundance Channel's programming while reaching the goals of the project's sponsors; Lexus and Smith Barney. I also supervised the development of all online videos for the site. See the Press Releases for more detailed info. Examples of the videos David produced for the site can be seen on this site's video page.
I most recently was the Senior Producer of the Teacher Channel at Scholastic.com where I developed the Teacher community, see my Portfolio for more info on all of the projects highlighted in this bio.

Microsoft High School's First Graduating Class Has a Bright Future
Today is graduation day at The School of the Future, a high school started in 2006 by Microsoft as part of its U.S. Partners in Learning program and the School District of Philadelphia. We covered the school in 2007, while this graduating class was in its sophomore year (there they call it "second-year"). How have the students fared in this experimental new environment? We talked with Partners in Learning executive director Mary Cullinane to find out.
Out of the 156 students who

Michael wrote the piece about my show that's on the front page.
Glad to be participating.
;)
Thanks for the comment on my art and it was cool hanging out yesterday.
That piece is for sale..if you are interested.
It's 60in by 40in framed acrylic on canvas.
I checked it out. Not bad, but It could use some work. I like the open, but I don't think I would start with the bites about the festival in the beginning. It makes the doc seem like it's about the DEMF not the beginnings of techno. The magnitude and scale of the festival provides and idea as to how big techno has become. Those bites should go towards the middle/end-esque. The jeff mills/stacy pullen bites speak to techno's beginnings... that's good. You should definitely get Juan Atkins (Big Fun, Good Life, Clear) in the trailer as well to go along with Fowlke, May, etc. (founders). Do you have any interviews in-studio, guys making music? Overall, I'd like to see it cut a little faster, especially towards the end, after the TP bite. The Carl Craig bite is where it should be, but he refers the Detroit Electronic Music Festival as "it". Can't assume everyone knows about the DEMF. Try and get him referring to the DEMF by name or put a full screen graphic over the beginning of his bite saying "Detroit Electronic Music Festival".
Holla' at me.
Peace!
I'll hit you later.
