I am interested in teaching classes over the Internet because I am excited about
the potential of this medium: new resources, students from around the world, and
a new teaching experience. I was introduced to the Internet in a class presented
by Newberg School District in the summer of 1995. I quickly realized that I was
entering a whole new world. The more time that I spent on the 'Net, the more excited
I became about the information available. The amount of resources is almost overwhelming!
I can hardly wait to direct my online students on their way through this maze
of literature, criticism, history, etc.
