In the the fall of 2002, PLATO
Learning, one of the nation's largest and most
successful education technology companies, released
an entirely new version of its web site. I provided
all the marketing content (over 130 pages) that PLATO
used. Virtually all these pages remain online as
originally written.
With a magazine circulation of over 100,000 and a web site
that attracts over 1 million hits per week, MacDirectory
has become one of the nation's fastest growing, Mac-focused
computer magazines. This publication is one of the most
extravagantly beautiful examples of magazine production
to find its way onto a news stand and an unquestionable
standout in the computer section.

These are some samples of my work for NetSchools, where
I was the primary content writer/editor for the Magazine
section of NetSchools Orion, their subscription web site.
Orion is now part of the PLATO Learning product line and
many of the articles written for NetSchools are still
in use. The following are samples of articles I created
for their audience of students, educators and families.
For these articles, I was also responsible for the graphics
and HTML coding.
