Over the years I have been involved with teaching courses for the Community Education program, for adults and youth, in the areas of visual communications, and I have been an instructor, within our own district, for our local Intermediate Unit No.10 . Through them, I teach graduate courses in the area of Digital Video and Photography, for other classroom teachers.

This project was created in Computer Graphics 2. Each student had the opportunity to create their own spaceship with special effects and a space scene. We hope you enjoy it.
This year, as a way to work with some new software that would interact with Adobe Photoshop, our Advanced Computer Graphics classes, created a photo mosaic of all Technology Education students within our department at the beginning of 2009-10.
