Students per Class: 145
Class Description:

Position:
Teacher - Social Sciences
Needs:
My students are in the Multimedia Academy. Our funding is helpful in getting media tools to our classrooms, but there is a constant shortage of video production equipment. I have ONE standard-definitioncamcorder, and ONE Flip HD. The Flip broke yesterday and I have the part to repair it on the way, I think... My students express themselves with media, pen-paper, video, audio, PowerPoint, black & white photography, and song. We need a terraflop harddrive to store video and several FAST Mac computers to edit video on, and lastly, and importantly WE NEED TEN Flip HD cameras. They are selling cheap on eBay now. Thanks

Personal Information:
About Me:
Former television news-feature producer for Joe Carcione - The Greengrocer. My first career choice was to teach, but I was dissuaded from that goal in 1972 by two jaded teachers. I produced The Greengrocer for 13 years, then dithered with public relations and independent production for another 13 years. Finally in 2001I returned to college to obtain the necessary knowledge to become a high school teacher.
College and Degrees:
AA Social Science, Columbia College, '73 BA Mass Communication, Broadcast, Chico State College, '76 Single Subject Teaching Credential, St. Mary's of Moraga, '03
Favorite Books:
Guns, Germs, & Steel, Jared Diamond
Why Do I Teach?:
Teaching is the most fun a person can have while still being involved in something positive for the community and our country.
