As an older-than-typical first-time student teacher focusing on high school ELA (after spending 28 years as a journalist), I'm really interested in hearing new ways to engage students through digital storytelling. I'm all ears! Help! #AppleEDULeaderChat

While in college I applied for a summer internship at the Washington Post. The reply: "Thank you for applying for our internship in newswriting. We regret to inform you that we rejected candidates with superior qualifications to yours." (Ouch. Still hurts)
