This page is designed to give educators an idea of the previous workshops/presentations/topics
I have conducted. All of my workshops are uniquely designed to help you meet or teach
those standards dealing with "media literacy." Each workshop includes interactive,
hands-on components, designed to help participants feel more comfortable introducing
media literacy into instruction. To read evaluations from educators who have participated
in my previous presentations, click here. If you have questions, please email me:
