It's been my huge pleasure to get to work with Chip over the past year. He is a visionary with both feet on the ground -- able to conceive ways to move early childhood education forward that are concrete, innovative and practical. His work on the NAEYC technology statement has been level-headed and open-minded, while never veering from a dedication to using the best tools available for learning.

Chip's passion for marrying early education and technology is contagious. He is a constant teacher and learner of new things who inspires others to push the envelope, try new things, and constantly improve their practice. The field of early childhood education, Erikson Institute, and its staff and students are fortunate to work and learn with him.

Chip's commitment to quality and commitment to education are something I have long admired.

Chip has been key to the development of the field of Early Childhood Education and Technology! He has worked for many years to assist teachers in developing the skills to effectively teach young children through the use of technology. He has been an innovator and mentor to many in this field!

Chip is an extraordinary early childhood professional. He is a teacher in all ways: guiding and leading professionals in the field in regards to how to think wisely and creatively about technology, and willing to take time on the ground with any child, student or professional as they learn to use a new tool, for however long it takes. No detail is too trivial, and all learning is regarded as an incredible opportunity when Chip is present. He is thoroughly knowledgeable about all things technological, and all things related to people. He is generous, kind, and puts people at ease so that they rise to their highest potential. He is making huge strides possible for young children and professionals who work with them.
