THE PROJECT: 
This site represents a hypertext project, based on the work of Gregory Ulmer,
that I have had to create for a graduate class, Rhetoric and Computers,
at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, where as of December 2005
I am halfway through an English Department Master’s program with a concentration
in the Teaching of Writing and Literature.  This project occurred in the second half
of the semester; prior to that, we had to respond to the weekly class readings,
which can be accessed here.

MY PROJECTION: 
My hope is to be a college or secondary level composition teacher and
this project serves primarily as an exploration of that interest. 
Much of what I present thus will be connected in some way to a teaching idea.

PROJECTIONS: 
By partaking in this class, which had us go through Gregory Ulmer’s
philosophy of exploration, association, and connection,
I uncover in this site other aspects of my life as they relate to my
central projection of teaching.  This exercise has revealed for me
the many and varied paths that have brought me to this point in time.
