Dr Alan Howard

Thanks for visiting my personal home page and web blog. I am a senior lecturer at the University of Reading, undertaking research in modelling aquatic systems, primarily the movement and growth of toxic cyanobacteria. For the past three years I have been predominantly occupied as Director of Teaching and Learning in the School of Human and Environmental Science. My teaching interests cut across geography in its broadest sense and I am a keen exponent of the use of Web 2.0 technologies to support teaching and learning. On this site you will find links to some of my Web applications, which were developed either to support teaching or other outreach activities. I am also Don McLean’s (American Pie, Vincent, And I Love You So, etc.) official biographer.
