i am an educator and graduate from Madison College with my Associate Degree in Visual Communications (now known as Video Audio Design), a degree i earned after becoming disillusioned with the efficacy of my teaching methodology; essentially, the "read essays and write essays" method of teaching critical thinking to my all-age students was not helping them actually learn critical thinking.

while my main focus is critical thinking, i am interested in: process-to-product creation and the ethics of production; education, methodology, and instruction for general and discipline-specific knowledge; education through aesthetics-, play-, and fun-driven methodologies; and digital literacy and inclusion of all-age learning of the digital tools that shape our lives (kids and seniors need to understand the internet!).
