As the principal of Mira Catalina Elementary School, I have had the pleasure to participate and continue the ecommerce project to its current success. Technology integration is a powerful tool to... More > increase motivation, communication and hands-on active learning. Our ecommerce project follows the premise that literacy is the foundation for success in school and in life. By promoting writing, we ultimately support reading, and through this support we sustain literacy development and motivate children by adding them to the process. It is one thing to read a book by an unknown author, but it's another thing to read a book written by your classmates. Through this unique experience, we have witnessed children become so enthusiastic about researching, authoring, illustrating and utilizing technology to produce an unaided final creation. I am proud to be associated with this ever-growing program at Mira Catalina.< Less
In this photography book I am just putting together some South Africa animals and friends that I was photographing the animals with.
It is a nice book though.
"Wild offers exceptional fiction and reportage, with a coast-dweller’s sharp eye for maritime detail, and a humane regard for both the victims and the survivors of shipwrecks, both literal... More > and metaphorical. From 'Prospects', a marvellous, moving reconstruction of the murderous maiden voyage of the Tayleur, to 'Luck is in the Leftovers', a gripping saga of living on the edge of the land, where life and death ebb and flow like the tides. Gill Hoffs' writing, fiction and non, swells with the power of life, sometimes life at the expense of other lives, but always animated and alive. This is visceral and vital prose, smooth as a sea-worn pebble yet sharp as sharks’ teeth."
