I have a confession to make. I quit my teaching job two years ago. It was a job that I enjoyed, a job at which I was highly skilled, and a job that gave me purpose, but I still quit. It was the height of the Covid pandemic and I had a baby at home. … Continue reading The Real Reason For the Teacher Shortage – There is Never Enough Flair → Jennifer Aniston, Films, High School, Coworker, Bad Boss, Employment, Dork, Career, Judge

I seem to be organizationally-challenged but in spite of that, or maybe because of that, I love to create resources that help me stay motivated and organized for the year.

In this point-and-click world you might think that there’s no need for manual DSLR photography, but a DSLR really does open up so many more photographic possibilities.

I’m so excited about these printmaking-inspired accordion books. Even when teaching digital design, it’s a good idea to give students exposure to hands-on studio procedures and media.

Giving a nod to Gestalt theory, my beginning photography students manipulated some of their photos to create anomalies of isolated color. They learned that you can create a focal point (a point of visual interest) by highlighting an area of difference in the image (in Gestalt theory, this is called an anomaly).
