The Change in Pace

  My foray into the world of online teaching has been and interesting one so far and brought many changes to the way things work at home! 

It's a strange feeling, being driven to my computer each day, pushing it to it's limits as well as developing a pattern of work that allows me to tend to my online flock, create engaging and technically correct content and yet still allow time for all the 'regular' domestic (and international) chores to be taken care of.

I'm grateful that there are still a few moments here and there where I can play with the pixels for my own sake and not have to second guess whether what I'm doing will translate well into a class demo or can be replicated on 3 different versions of Elements and 4 versions of Photoshop :-)

Having said that, I am finding this teaching experience to be very rewarding, and delight in helping students unlock the mysteries of Photoshop (and Elements)!  Their Ah Ha moments are awesome!

I, among many, appreciate the time, effort and care you put into the online classes. I love the way you have us accomplish so much with such clear directions and such great organization.

This "contemplation" is so lovely. I wonder how many layers?!?

Class has been fantastic! An apple to the teacher! (Heck, you deserve a whole orchard....)

Hi, Marie;
I'm so glad you're enjoying this experience! I know you put a lot of work into it.

Hopefully you will have the class again...I have a million things going on right now, which is why I did not join in. This image is so sweet. Makes me remember feeling like that.

When you do things a seamlessly as you do, it's easy for us to overlook how much work you actually put into such a fantastic class. Having taken many on line tutorials, I can tell you that you have excelled in your teaching style and methods. It should also be said that every one of us so appreciate ALL the obvious attention you have paid to detail. You have been more than generous. Sharing of your knowledge in such a way has made us all capable of achieving. That feels so good. Thanks, and BRAVA.

I can only imagine the challenges you've been facing, but it does sound like you've found a way and thriving at it. Love the contemplation piece, perfection.
