Welcome to Russ Barneveld’s Website

Grand Valley State University

I am an affiliate professor in the School of Education at Grand Valley State University and teach “ED-205 - Computers In Education.” Before coming to GVSU I taught for the Grand Rapids Public Schools at the middle school, high school, alternative education, and Adult Education levels. During my tenure with GRPS I also worked as the “Technology Coordinator” for the Adult Education Program. I am a firm believer in the use of technology in the classroom.

During the winter when I’m not working I play hockey in an “Old Men’s” league in Grand Rapids. I also help coach a “Pee Wee” (11 and 12 year olds) team that my grandson plays on. In the summer I cruise the Great Lakes on my 34 foot sailboat. You will find links to my sailing and hockey pages below.

On this website you will find an electronic portfolio with examples of many of my technology projects. The links page will take you to many valuable educational websites. In November of 2005 I had the opportunity to visit the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, West Africa. While there I kept a journal of my visit. I have provided a link below to the journal as well as my conference presentation at UCC. You will also find links to other conference presentations and class materials.

I hope you find this site enjoyable as well as educational. If you have any questions please feel free to email me by clicking on the mail link below.
