Biography
[edit]Hartman was born in Grangeville, Idaho. He was educated in Montana and Hawaii during his elementary and secondary school years. His college years were spent as a student-athlete in Oregon. He taught and coached at the middle school level in Oregon and California for several years before attending graduate school in Illinois. For nearly 30 years he's served as a faculty member at universities in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Michigan. With colleagues, Hartman has published almost 100 articles, chapters, and technical reports. His sole edited book, Stories Teachers Tell (with Richard Donato), was re-written as a reader's theater and performed off-Broadway in New York City. Hartman's current research interests focus on technologies and their use for human learning as well as the history of teaching & learning.

Research
[edit]Hartman research focus falls into three main categories: New Literacies and Intertextualities, Teacher Practices (including adolescent literacies) and the History of Literacy.
New Literacies and Intertextualities
[edit]Hartman has published in the areas of New Literacies and Intertextuality.[3] This area of research has focused on the discussion of multiple texts[4] and building sustainable cognition along with a transition to online reading. This area of research began through Dr. Hartman's work on his Dissertation “Eight Readers Reading: The Intertextual Links of Able Readers Using Multiple Passages[5] ” (winner of the International Reading Association's Dissertation of the Year Award[6]) and continues with his most recent, in print, publication “From Print to Pixels: The Evolution of Cognitive Conceptions of Reading Comprehension” (Hartman, Morsink, and Zheng, 2010).
Teacher Practices including Adolescent Literacies
[edit]Hartman's research in the areas of Teacher Practices focused on the use of using multiple texts in the classroom, leading discussions[7] in the classroom and shaping readers experiences through multiple texts. This area of research draws from the research in intertextuality but puts it into a practitioner lens for use by classroom teachers.[8]
History of Literacy
[edit]Hartman research includes work on the history of literacy. He gave an address at the 57th Annual Meeting of the National Reading Conference on “One Hundred Years of Reading Research, 1908–2008” in 2007.[9]
