Chris+Peters



I have taught instructional computing classes at Clemson since 1983. Before that I taught 4th grade for several years at Westminster Elementary School in Westminster, S.C. I earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and a Master's in Special Education -- both from Clemson. In 1988 I finished a doctorate in [|Instructional Technology] at the [|University of Georgia].

My speciality areas include multimedia development for the K12 environment and instructional applications of Web-based database solutions. My dissertation involved a multimedia learning system I designed with support from CNN & Britannica. I have also done some programming. I wrote a nutrition game which is part of an exhibit at the SC State museum and have completed an email program for an elementary school and an IEP program used by Special Ed teachers in Charleston County. Current projects involve digital video editing and the preparation of computer training videotapes for use in our courses.

I am married to the former Alice Derr, who is now a school psychologist in Anderson School District 5. We have two children: Susannah is 20 and is a junior at Clemson. Elisabeth is 18 and is a freshman at Clemson.
