Greetings from the beautiful hills of Pennsylvania. I am working on my digital photography skills for personal and educational reasons. I find the search for photos that I like and can use freely on my sites, in my writings and in my classroom lesson planning to be tedious. I am building a library of images that I can access and use that are all mine. I created a lesson plan on social stratification for the DEN and used almost all my own images in the powerpoint. The lesson has more meaning for me and my students. As a classroom teacher students love seeing themselves. Imagine their glee when they show up in a lesson! Also images that we need like a timer or a clock has more meaning when the students recognize the objects. Just some random thoughts on the importance of digital art.
I am really into digital photography now. I am using a lot of my own photos for my power-points, like this one Sunset Dreams and lesson plans. I love Corel and use it a lot. I like turning my photos into one of a kind works of art. I have created an art studio that I call Mariposa Studio. My next step is to sell my art online.

When I was in 7th grade, something remarkable happened that changed my life in a wonderful way. An amazing teacher, Jim Matson, pulled me aside for drawing in class, instead of paying attention. Rather than scolding me, Mr. Matson asked me to try a project, tapping into art and storytelling to help other students understand a math concept.
