Paul Allison (PaulAllison)
New York, NY
Paul Allison has been been teaching ever since he graduated from Hunter College, CUNY in 1983. After a few years in the desert (Utah), and a couple of years at the High School of Art and Design, NYC, he had a wonderful dozen years at University Heights Secondary School, Bronx, NY, where he learned that doing school better did not have to be the same-old, with more effort. After that, Paul worked with English Language Learners at the International High School in Queens for three years.

After 9/11, there was a lot of talk about doing meaningful work. At the same time, Paul was finding himself being seduced by new forms of literacy on the Internet. An opportunity to become a studio teacher of technology at East Side Community High School, NYC presented itself in the Summer of 2002, and Paul has been at ESCHS ever since.

Another community that Paul is a part of is the New York City Writing Project. He was a participant in the NYCWPs Summer Invitational in 1985, and he has worked for the NYCWP in various ways ever since. Currently, with Felicia George, Paul is the NYC Technology Liaison for the National Writing Project.

I guess this is the place to start. I got my first site up and running at workspace.nycwp.net. Now to think about how it integrates with the Joomla site. I think this can work.

Across the top of the site are picture icons:
  • Home points to items on the site.
  • The second icon points to the Listserv that has almost 250 users, and several years of rich use.
  • Next we have Forums. This points to a new Google Groups that we set up recently.
  • In the fourth position we have Links, which points to a "subscription" page in our del.icio.us/nycwp site.
  • And finally we have a Feeds icon that points to a public page at bloglines.com/public/nycwp.

Michelle added this nuget in her blogpost: "I hate it when in the news they write so many stories about someone getting shot or dying and just celebrities about what happened to them like Britney shaved her head or whatever."
