Past
experience: I have written successful grants for Rochester Community
Schools and Adams High School, Rochester Hills, Michigan. The grants
received ranged from $500.00 from the Rochester Chamber of Commerce,
$5,000 from Adobe Corporation, $30,000.00 from Microsoft Corporation and
$150,000 from Michigan's School to Work Program. The grants all required
the integration of technology with traditional academic areas of study. I
have also read grant applications for TCI Corp. Denver, Co. Worked with
General Motors, Pontiac to create an online intranet
museum. |

Suggestions for public humanities projects: I am interested
in helping communities, organizations, museums, galleries and schools
statewide develop interdisciplinary programs. Helping ethnic organizations
develop multimedia materials (including digital photo and video, Cds and
websites) to advance their mission. I have worked with English as Second
Language programs to develop visual materials to disseminate information.
My expertise has been in developing local programs that have a global
reach.
Example:
Students working with an international classroom using traditional and
electronic materials.
The program "Global Village Project" (GVP) began
at Adams High School and was replicated in middle schools in Rochester and
Farmington Hills, MI., Porto Madryn, Argentina and Melbourne, Australia.
International partners included Japan, Russia, Cuba, Germany, Netherlands,
and Quebec. GVP received a program of Excellence Award from the Michigan
Education Association. |

Comments:
The Michigan Polonia website (http://mipolonia.net/) offers
Michiganians services to find their ancestral villages in Europe including
online contacts with Polish researchers. I have developed seminars to help
kids stay safe on the Internet. I am currently developing a program with
the Older Person's Center in Rochester to help Seniors use technology. I
am working with the Family History Center in Bloomfield Hills to set up
safe Internet access. |
