 * I have been teaching high school for 12 years in Vista, California.

This year, I am teaching web design, graphic design and digital art.

I love what I do.

 I also like camping, the beach, family time and visiting beautiful places. || The Career Technical Education Web Publishing & Media Design class  is a year-long high school class that meets 4 times a week. Our public  high school is large, with over 2650 students!

Sixteen web design students will be joining GVC 2014. Our computer classroom is equipped with 24 Dell computers and we are thankful to have good Internet access.

Students work with Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and FLASH. Students are also learning to use ArcGIS Online to create interactive maps and story map apps. ||

<span style="color: #1d4aa0; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This year we have adopted a theme of Community. We are hoping to participate in a service learning project. <span style="color: #1d4aa0; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">It would be great to communicate and collaborate with other students around the world to learn more about their community. ||

<span style="color: #1d4aa0; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I especially like projects that explore nature, cultures, and the geographic features of our world.

<span style="color: #1d4aa0; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I find that these topics have the widest range of appeal to my diverse student population. ||  ||
