My Web Presence

In 2006 I worked really hard to make a website that I thought would grow with me while I was in the MAET program. What happened was after creating it, I never looked at it again. Although when I applied to my present job, I sent them to my website to get some insight on me. It worked. Within a month, I had gotten a really good offer from them.
I have started 3 different blogs over the years also. This is the only one I really maintain.
I also have a google pages site that ties into my work.
I guess my most active presence on the web would be my wikispaces account. I have 6 different wikis that I use with my students for my various classes.
For me the wikis have been the most fun and rewarding web experience.

iImage


The idea that I want to convey in my iImage is that people should look beyond the surface before judging. As a middle eastern woman who wears a head scarf, people tend to either dismiss me as someone unintelligent or look at me as an extremist. I feel there is need to tell people to look beyond the surface to what's inside. Queen Rania of Jordan once said "Don't judge a woman by what's on her head. Judge her by what's in it." I want that to be the caption that goes with my iImage.
