Passion to Proud
For years I have wanted to produce a picture website about the flora of Rockville Hills Park. I have a passion for taking elementary students outdoors to explore the natural world. The Touro University Educational Technology master’s program (Vallejo campus) has guided me in the design and development of Rockville Exploration. (2008)

I thank my classmates and instructors Mike, Rick, and Joe who have guided me through the research process and website development. Dr. J was a great inspiration.

I thank the parents of my students who have supported me in the development of this educational website.

A special thanks goes out to Sticky Monkey, Miner’s Lettuce, and Lupine for their excitement for learning, humored teasing, and dedication to technology.
Be proud! It’s time to go hiking!
