Nothing's changed, even though my excuse for being late to this blog is that I'm on the board of directors for a Montessori Pre-School and Kindergarten and our Executive Director resigned the last week of school and I was the only person who could fill in and attend a very important Rural Philanthropy event in the Four Corners area of Colorado.
That said, I think deadlines are what sucked me in to journalism. Without them I would never get anything done on time.
Next year will be my seventh year teaching journalism. Prior to that I worked in a number of careers (including working as a journalist) that have taken me from coast to coast, including Alaska. When I started teaching I also taught science (my bachelors degree) but was moved to teaching computers last year (against my will) and have turned it into a chance to
add multi-media journalism to my repertoire -- which brings me to the Reynolds Institute.I can't wait to start reporting again and totally look forward to meeting you all. I post my students work on a simple google site. So feel free to check out the pdf version of their work at www.tiny.cc/mchsjournalism. I'll be bringing copies of our latest works since I'm close enough to drive to the conference.
