I have the opportunity at my day job to work on some very interesting projects. My most recent project, StageNotes.NET, is

“… produced and presented by Camp Broadway LLC. The development of this online resource furthers the company’s long-standing commitment to restore performing arts education in schools by opening lines of communication between professionals in the industry and the teachers around the nation who are inspiring future artists and audiences.”

I was the lead site designer/developer (at my day job) for the portal and I am very pleased with the outcome. The group of individuals responsible for providing this resource are doing great things for educators and students alike. Be sure to check StageNotes.NET for all of your performing arts education needs. They really have compiled quite a long list of resources and discounts for educators.

As I posted yesterday, October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. In conjunction with The Addams Family Musical, StageNotes. NET is launching a “No Snap Judgments” campaign for students in the middle school grades. Find out more about the campaign by visiting StageNotes.NET or nosnapjudgments.org.

Stand up to Cyberbullying!

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. There are so many avenues that you can travel down to address the issue of cyber security. One of my favorite resources, Common Sense Media, has developed a wonderful resource on how to Stand up to Cyberbullying. As always, Common Sense has resources for parents and educators to help them work through this very sensitive topic with kids.

Check out their online resource today!
