About Me
I taught media arts at Evanston High School for three years and founded a non-profit that trains youth in web 2.0, digital media and socially-motivated P2P production so that they can mobilize their own communities around issues they care about. We work with youth globally as well. In 2007 youth in Barbados created online cinema in a virtual contact zone with Chicago teens.
I now work as Academic Manager at
Columbia College Dept of Interactive Arts and media. www.iam.colum.edu

    Skip, thank you for your very insightful response. What you say resonates deeply with me and I was very pleased that this particular student "got it" so well and translated it into a video that speaks to his peers. I don't know the World changing Activity. Can you share it with me?

    Mindy, Good to meet you, I can't wait to look at what your students created! My teachers the last two weeks created some amazing video examples.
