Dr.
Jerry Galloway started his own family of 4 as a teenager and worked
to develop the lives and education of himself and his family. He first began
hands-on computing as an IBM-360 mainframe operator in the late 70's in Houston,
Texas. After a Bachelor's Degree in Logic and Law School at the South Texas
College of Law, he earned his Doctor of Education degree at the University of
Houston in 1987 with some of the earliest work on helping beginning teachers
learn to use instructional technology.
First, a professor at the University of Houston, Dr. Galloway then served for 16
years as the Coordinator of Computer Education and Associate Professor of
Education at Indiana University Northwest. He since served a few years at
Georgia Southern University, Texas Wesleyan University and The University of
Texas at Arlington. He has published dozens of articles, a number of textbooks
and a variety of CD media materials. He also serves on the National Social
Science Association’s Board of Directors and as an editor for i-manager’s
international Journal on Educational Psychology.
Through all of this, Dr. Galloway managed to develop a considerable range of
personal endeavors and avocations that became the defining aspect of his
identity. These include (a) almost 45 years performing as a drummer, musician
and vocalist; (b) operating his own martial arts academy for 25 years, achieving
the rank of 5th degree master of taekwondo, and winning a U.S. National gold
medal in 2002; (c) he has worked as an actor, stage performer, and stunt
coordinator; and (d) enjoying the skies as a private pilot. He is an amateur
astronomer, lectures regularly for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and owns his
own observatory in Lavon, TX. He has recently completed an autobiography
detailing lessons learned for family values, fortitude and perseverance.
