Greetings from Indiana. MFF Networks are INCREDIBLE and WELCOMING as I have been privileged to be a part of the Tennessee, Virginia, and now Indiana networks. My current work in education allows me to share the wonderful opportunities the MFF Award afforded to me in both the public and parochial sectors of education. I would be happy to share what I am doing in the area of VTS - Visual Thinking Strategies and/or educational technology if you are interested.
