I had been a student for 25 years of my life. Then I got tired. And got retired. From school, but not from learning.

I have a Master of Science degree on Electronics Engineering. Such a relevance. I never practiced. After I graduated, I started to teach Multimedia Programming and Design at a college. A part time job.

Meanwhile, I started to work on an online tutoring project. I created a simple online tutoring software and thousands of kids suffering with math got a lot of help through the comfort of home and one on one tutoring. My first learning tool for kids.

I created two online registration applications for a college. And they hired me for much bigger project. But not for my programming skills. They had great programmers. But project was somehow stuck. A communication gap between the faculty and the programmers created a huge obstacle. Then I assumed the role of being a bridge in between. I was both a programmer and an educator. I filled the gap.

Then I started to play with educational videos. Created online streams of educational videos and published them on a subscription based site. This experience gave me a lot of ideas on how to make teaching more effective. I created Flash versions of the videos to increase the interactivity.

I started to work as the software architect of an educational Flash game project in Fall 2005. Teaching kids art and music through interactive Flash puzzles. Another learning tool for kids.

Moreover, I helped some of my friends on their doctoral projects about instructional technology and learned some theories on education.

Now, I have been putting all these together to create more learning tools for kids.

I started with this site. I hope you will find it helpful.
