Educational Content
I started an educational website when I was teaching in a 3rd grade bilingual classroom. Soon I started adding my content from courses I was taking at the University of Houston and thereby I Teach I Learn.com was formed. In 1999 I approached Jim Cummins about doing his website. Our educational webs have been hosted together ever since. In the summer of 2003 I updated content and standardized the navigational features site-wide. Popular areas of the site include the Literacy Assessment Web and Annotated Resources for Bilingual and ESL Teachers.

Holding Her Knees
Written 14 years after the death of my baby sister. Of all the poems on my site, this one gets the most email responses.

RECENT PROJECTS
Best in Class Projects
As a graduating member of Harvard's Technology In Education program ('04), I was privileged to be a part of some exciting projects. Including a customizable website about a disorder that impacts learning, a group project about youth perceptions of disability, and intelligent agents for use in programs like Cipherland. Finally, a journal of my experiences in the program inspired in part by such luminaries as Jason Jay, and Alireza Doostdar gives me great satisfaction as well. [map]
