I seek a new challenge and a new spark of excellence as your Instructional Designer in Reading
Language Arts.
I am knowledge and skills driven: I am an academically-trained writer; self-taught and
experienced technologist; skilled with software; trained and experienced manager; goal-
oriented; quick learner; and a communicator.
I have 10 years experience in working with software packages for a variety of purposes. I learn
new software quickly.
I hold the Master’s degree in English. I have also completed the Technical Communications curriculum
at Texas Tech.
I have worked with storyboards in making videos and audio (Audacity) on numerous personal projects.
For most of this decade, I have taught students Web Mastering, Multimedia, and Digital Graphics /
Animation (DGA). I am knowledgeable and experienced in creating / editing multimedia.
I have also recently produced a self-made portfolio (see http://techwriting.captainblacksblog.com,
which contains 3 different kinds of documents.
I have designed and maintained a number of websites over the last 10 years. Currently, I maintain four
websites.
Teachable moments – the spark of improving lives and the spark of excellence.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. My cell number is 512-***-****. Email is fine, too.
