Hi and welcome to the Des Lauriers' home page.   Lets start with a little biographic information about myself.  
My name is Tom Des Lauriers, and I graduated from   East Carolina University   with a MAEd in Instructional Technology - Computers in December 1997.  I also graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington  with a BA in Elementary Education.   I also graduated from Coastal Carolina Community College,   with an Associate of Arts degree.  

I am a husband, father and a grandfather with 4 beautiful grandchildren.   I have been married to the same beautiful lady for 34 years.   I am also a retired   Marine Corps Officer,   after 21 years I decided that I had served my country long enough and that it was time to move on to bigger and better things.   I have two wonderful children. 

My daughter is married to a former Marine Corps Sergeant,  who  now works for Toshiba UPS   They also have a Home Page which I invite you to visit. They live in Cypress Texas, just outside Houston.

My son is severing in the United States Air Force and is married to a beautiful young lady from Jacksonville, North Carolina. They are now stationed at Ramstein AFB   in Germany; only a few hours from Paris, France. They also have a Home Page which I invite you to visit.

I taught at Coastal Carolina Community College in Jacksonville, North Carolina from March 1995 to May 1998 in the computer technology department.   I also taught at   Craven Community College   in eastern North Carolina during the same period.   From 1998 to 2003 I worked at   West Valley College   as a Lab Facility Specialist and the College Web Master. When the State of California had their Budget Crisis, I decieded to Retire from the California Teaching System and move to Cypress, Texas so we could be closer to and spend more time with our beautiful grand children. I now teach at Cy-Fair College here in Cypress, Texas an also at De Vry University in Houstin, Texas.

The Distance Learning web page was created as a final project for a class called Introduction to Distance Learning. That class was conducted completely over the Internet except for the first class meeting which was held on Campus, to allow the people in the class to meet each other face to face.   The Coastal Carolina Community College web page was a final project for a class called   The Internet: Organization, Design, and Resource Discovery   The class was also conducted completely over the Internet. The Introduction into Microsoft Power Point was the final project for a class called   Web Teaching.   It was also conducted completely over the Internet. The web page for Coastal Carolina Community College is an unofficial web page.   All the information for the web page was taken from the Coastal Carolina Community College Catalog 1996 - 1997. However, the page is not an official Coastal Carolina Community College Web page. Coastal Carolina Community College now has an official web page located at Coastal Carolina Community College, but at the time I created this one for a class project the college did not have a web page. There are two links to other educational sites at the bottom of each page.
