Academy of Art
Teaching, Masters

Starting in September '09 I began teaching at the Academy of Art in the Masters of New Media and Web Design program. This is a great opportunity to both reexamine the fundamentals of my own understanding and help focus the ideas and interests of those entering the field.
The Academy is a challenging and rewarding place to teach. Student work can be both interesting and engaging. Working with students to concept their projects and asking the questions that will provoke new and interesting paths for their projects is both personally rewarding and an opportunity for me to grow as well.
This semester I am teaching Web Technology 1 and 2. I am taking this opportunity to push AJAX technologies and Object Oriented PHP 5 and Javascript as tools of a web developers trade.
