- About Me:
- I've been in education for twenty five years. I've worked as a classroom teacher, an art teacher, an arts administrator, and media specialist. Presently, I work as an educational writer and educational liaison for the International Student Media Festival. I have a new book out, entitled Engaging the Eye Generation. I also write for Multimedia& Internet @ Schools magazine. I teach an afterschool class for elementary students, called ArtWriters, because I will always need children, and teaching, in my life.
