Baxter, Christopher Robert
Born May 13, 1975, in the city of Syracuse.
Grew-up in the town of West Monroe, New York (20 miles North of Syracuse).
Graduated high school from Paul V. Moore H.S. in 1993.
Started my undergraduate work at SUNY Potsdam in the fall of 1993.
Finally graduated in May 1998, with a major in Chemistry and Education, as well as a start on graduate work.
Recently (August 10, 1998) I was appointed to an Eighth grade Physical Science position in the Brushton-Moira School District.


My name is Nellie and I am a full time grad. student.  I used to play soccer and lacrosse for SUNY Potsdam as an undergrad.  I am currently working in the Outdoor Rec. Department here and I enjoy most any outdoor activity.  The picture I drew represents Mt. Santinoni, one of the few trailess high peaks in the Adirondacks.  I led an off trail navigation up and back the mountain via a huge slide on the southwest face and a lot of spikey spruce trees.  I’m glad to be back at school after a long, tough summer working like a slave at a YMCA camp in the Catskills (Frost Valley--heard of it?).  I’m really looking forward to learning a lot more about computers which shouldn’t be hard because I’m not to good with them yet anyway. 


My name is Sandra Fiorile and I am in the ITMM program.  I am a registered Respiratory Therapist who prior to becoming a full-time student at Potsdam State was the Education Coordinator at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake.  During my ten years as a healthcare educator, I had been involved with telemedicine, videoconferencing, and computer assisted instruction.  My professional objectives are to work in an industry as a specialist in  the development of learning activities that utilize technology.


Hi, my name is Edie Hanlon.  I'm a Part-time Business teacher at Gouverneur Middle School.  I teach 7th graders keyboarding.  I am an ITMM (Instructional Technology and Media Management) major at SUNY @ Potsdam. I have completed four (4) courses to date and am taking three (3) this fall, so I hope to complete my masters at least by next summer/fall.  My hobbies are:  singing, cooking and craftwork (when I have the time, which right now, I don't).  My goal is to obtain a Full-time teaching position upon completion of my masters.  I enjoy working with computers (even though I grew up in the non-computer age, I'm learning more and more as I go along).  I think it is worth everyones time to take at least one basic computer course (so many things are run by computers now, everyone needs
at least the basic skills).  Of course, I say this, I'm a Business Teacher.  Once I was scared to enter the world of internet, but now that I've jumped in and began, it's not as scary as I thought it would be.  You are probably wondering, how could she be a Business Teacher and not know that much about computers.  Well, I've had my Bachelors for a few years and you don't always have to know a lot about computers to be a Business Teacher, but like I said above, I've learned a lot just by taking my courses towards my masters.


My name is Kristin Towne.  I am planning to Major in ITMM for my masters.  I grew up in a small town about an hour from here called Star Lake.  I completed my undergraduate work in Art Ed. and Art History in the spring of 1996.  I am currently working as a jr./sr. high Art teacher at St. Lawrence Central.  My interest in this course is not only a class toward my degree, I am also interested in creating a graphics course for my highschool students.


Michelle Jenkinson.  I teach 8th and 9th Grade Math at Salmon River Central School.  I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in ITMM at SUNY Potsdam and my current goal is to graduate next  May 99.  After this semester, I will only have two courses remaining  including an elective and my culminating experience. I am also a Captain in the United States Army Reserves and play an active role in the school and community  including volleyball coach, soccer referree, yearbook advisor, Hopkinton Town Rec Commitee, and T-Ball coach. 


My Name is Gregory Day, I am orginaaly from Schoharie, New York where I was Born and raised. While in High school I played Ice Hockey and was a very good musican. I Graduated from High School in 1991, and attended Potsdam College that Fall. I later Graduted from Potsdam College with a BA in Mathematics and Secondary Education, in 1997. I am now attending graduate school to get my Master's degree in ITMM and then I plan to move on and get my Doctorate in Technolgy instruction or something along that
line.
I grew up with two sister's , one is Married and is 29 and lives in Plattsburgh New York, the other is 22 and lives in Naples Florida.  My parents are also live in Naples Florida  and are enjoying there retirements. I am planning upon graduating in the spring to move to California with my girl friend and go to graduate School out there to get my Doctorate. I am 26 and love to learn more things out about technology and computers ecah day.
