Lifelong Learning & Civic Engagement
As a former college webmaster and instructor of web development, my interests include all aspects of Information and Communication Technology Literacy - and especially those IT applications related to teaching and learning.
I am currently a Senior Corps RSVP volunteer participating in the JABA FISH program in Charlottesville, VA.
I am focusing on the beginning of the Lifelong-Learning spectrum by volunteering at Jackson-Via Elementary School - a wonderfully diverse and creative Charlottesville City School (PreK-4) in the Fry's Spring neighborhood bordering the University of Virginia. Our JV Computer Club topic this spring was Writing for the Web, and we now have two blogs: Jackrabbit Blog, the blog of our JV Jam News Studio, and Jump for the Stars! - an ePortfolio of Jackrabbits at our BEST.
I am also pleased to serve as the webmaster for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Virginia - a foundation that brings together seniors from various backgrounds who share a common interest in learning and intellectual stimulation.
