More About the Author

I am a retired educator who began a second career in high tech in the mid 1990s when I fell head over heels in love with HTML. I taught HTML and Dreamweaver classes at the college level for several years. There I developed some definite ideas about best practices in teaching web design. I am interested in helping learners and teachers develop web design skills that use standards and accessibility.

During my career in education, I wrote several books for teachers that help them teach writing using cooperative learning techniques.
