Education & Instruction

I train people to use technlogy to further their own business and personal interests. I teach regular classes at Seattle Public Library in Web Basics and Small Business Research. In 1996, I founded the Wired for Learning program at SPL that teaches basic computer skills to people learning to speak English and adults working towards their GED. I worked with the City of Seattle's Family Centers doing informal training sessions with patrons and staff in all aspects of computer usage and skills from 1995 to 1998. I have developed curricula, instructional materials and web pages for use in educational settings. I work with population groups ranging from ESL students to elderly women to five year olds.

I have written educational materials for adults and children since 1995. I have been a major contributor to the American Political Landscape series of encyclopediae and have recently completed a teacher's edition of a language arts project for fifth graders for Glencoe. My current project involves writing study guides for elementary school students on a number of literature titles.
