- About Me:
- I am owned by two indoor kittens and several outside feral cats, a delightful seven year old cairn terrier and my sons, both creative and interesting young men. I am the computer coordinator for a PreK-5 elementary school, the very same school I attended xxxyears ago, which is kind of fun. I love working with my kids at school and for a change of pace, really enjoy training teachers and getting them hooked on new technologies. I have been, in earlier incarnations, a professional quiltmaker and retail business owner, as well as having worked in advertising, public relations, publishing and sales. Teaching may be my final and most enjoyable career choice, and I expect that I will be a student forever.

learning environments and course settings so that it becomes easy to set up
an online course for a teacher. A sample of what we do can be seen at
www.lms.sitact.net . Please use the guest login
and use "frankieuncle" as the guest access code. What you will see in here
is a simple course that describes the software, but this course can be
designed to teach diverse subject matter to students. If you feel the kind
of work we are doing will be useful for you, we will be glad to work with
you setting up such virtual courses for collaborative dissemination and consumption of knowledge. Even if you didn't like the work we do, please let us know if we can do anything else for you.

I just checked out your class blog -- I loved the claymation -- something I have been doing as a collaborative project with sixth and second graders this year and will be teaching (with my wife) as a summer camp for middle school kids this summer.
Some of the movies are at my blog:

PS -- What software are you using?
You have had quite an eclectic career, haven't you?
