John Martin

Integrating technology to increase learning in higher education in various roles since 1998, John currently teaches and develops socioculturally-rich teaching and learning practices at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His doctoral research in Curriculum and Instruction broadly considered the learning affordances of video games, and specifically focused on learner-designed place-based mobile games. Drawing on a background and interest in technology, art, writing, and outdoor education, and a commitment to environmental and social sustainability, John investigates tools of inquiry and expression that promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the social and physical space(s) we inhabit.
