P4A 2014

I am in total amazement over what some of my students have done with these Project for Awesome (p4a) videos.  The discussions and collaboration during the group meeting blew me away and then to see some of their work today. I am very thankful to Liberty Perry School Corporation for supporting my trip to NCTE last month, and to Lee Ann Spillane and the group that introduced me to Project for Awesome through their wonderful session.  These kids have done things with stop motion, appeals to pathos, and a whole list of other really cool things in a relatively short period of time.  Way to go WHS students!

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
