University of
South Florida Ph.D. Mathematics Education 1982
Although my doctorate is in mathematics education, the focus of all my professional work in the past 20 years has been related to technology in education. Four themes have characterized my research and scholarship¨Cmiddle school students as multimedia authors, constructivist learning environments, gender issues in education, and qualitative research methodology. In the past ten years I have been PI or co-PI on six grants related to technology in education from the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Education, Ohio Learning Network, Martha Holden Jennings Foundation, USA Toyota Foundation, and IBM. Since coming to Ohio University, I have supervised over 35 Masters research projects (primarily classroom-based action research) and 14 doctoral dissertations focusing on the use of technology in K-12 and higher education settings. 1996-present

Mathematics teacher in secondary schools in Dunedin, Florida (1967-69);
Serowe, Botswana (1970-73); and Tampa, Florida (1974-80). Books Land, M. L., & Turner, S. V. (1997). Tools for Schools: Applications Software for the Classroom (ClarisWorks Edition). Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. This textbook and accompanying disks is a complete revision of our 1988 book. Over 80% of the book is new material. Written for both Macintosh and Windows platforms, the book introduces teachers and prospective teachers to ClarisWorks, HyperStudio, and the Web using examples and activities relevant to the K-12 classroom. This hands-on, project-oriented book is written for educators who want to learn HyperCard to develop stacks for the K-12 curriculum and help their own students use HyperCard as a learning tool. Three Activities Disks accompany the book and include a variety of stacks that span several content areas and grade levels. A separate Instructor's Guide is published on disk. Turner, S. V., & Land, M. L. (1988). Tools for Schools: Applications Software for the Classroom. (AppleWorks Edition). Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. This 316-page textbook includes a two-sided Activities Disk with 45 sample AppleWorks files and an Instructor's Guide. Published in March 1988, it was widely used nationally as a text for courses in applications software for teachers. The book focuses on using word processing, databases, spreadsheets, graphics utilities, and telecommunications in the K-12 curriculum. Flake, J. L., McClintock, C.E., & Turner, S. V. (1985, 1989). Fundamentals of Computer Education. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. This
396-page textbook includes an Applications Disk with 47 programs
in Logo and BASIC and an Instructor's Guide. It was adopted at colleges
across the country for their introductory course in computer education
for teachers. Published reviews appeared in Journal of Computers
in Mathematics and Science Teaching and in The Mathematics Teacher.
A completely revised second edition was published in 1989. Software Turner, S., & Handler, M. (1991, 1993). Data Collector 2.0: A qualitative research tool. Santa Barbara, CA: Intellimation. The
Data Collector software aids researchers in organizing and analyzing
textual data obtained from interviews, observations, surveys, journals,
and other documents in order to look for patterns and identify themes.
A second component, the Notes Collector, facilitates note-taking
for a literature review. The software and accompanying user's manual
were originally published in 1991 and completely revised in 1993.
The current version is 2.0.1, written in HyperCard 2.1 for Macintosh
computers. Intellimation featured the Data Collector as part of
its Signature Collection in the 1992-93 catalog and as one of its
Best Sellers in the 1993-94 catalog. Refereed Papers and Presentations Turner, S., & Ma, H. (2003, July). How are kids today using the Internet?
