shift in the Springfield and Hartford, CT. television markets. He
began teaching in 1999 to challenge young people to express themselves
in a creative and positive way, and to develop an awareness of the world
of information that has exploded on the internet, which also seems destined
to integrate itself with the video medium as well. He believes that
students must be made aware of the economic, social, and political motivations
of those that deliver information, and equip them with skills that help
them to identify quality information, as well as appreciate the artistry
that is used to deliver a message to an audience, whether it is news or
entertainment. The lesson plans and links on this page are designed to
facilitate other teachers who teach this and other related subjects in
an educational context. Many of the lessons presented here now and
in the future will address information that he wished he had been exposed
to before learning them on the job the hard way! You are invited to explore
these sites and help develop the lessons and skills that kids need now
more than ever.
