I had the pleasure of discovering, and joining, the International Association of Mobile Digital Artists. I have started creating work with the iPad and iPhone. I’m especially interested in creating sequential art, to tell stories, using that medium. Below is an example of my recent work.

Design +

While looking for example CSS drop-down menu examples for a site I’m working on, I came across a project of a talented young UK web designer, Harry Roberts. If you have a moment, check out his sites and read some of his articles. You’ll learn a lot about CSS and Web Design.

Service Learning and Business Partners

At Nashville State Community College, I am using my Capstone class in Web and Multimedia Design to bring organizations into my classroom. My class becomes a design team producing podcasts, web sites, video, etc. for those business clients. This semester, the students are creating a DVD for the Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity Volunteers Department.

I attended our Department advisory Cmte meeting the other day where the subject of Service Learning was brought up. I was amazed at how every point they brought up was what I was already implementing in the classroom and I voiced that fact.

Is anyone there wanting to implement Service Learning into your curriculum? How are you planning to go about it?

I just discovered this great Google primer for understanding the basics of feeds, Feeds 101. You can also find this link in the Resources link of my web site.
