I am a college student currently training to become an educator and it is great to see people outside of the university who are still in love with teaching. I also like your attitude on Photoshop and the use of technology in the classroom. You say your goal is "to remove roadblocks that keep the technologies - and people using them from reaching their full potential." This is a valiant one considering I am now in a class that is solely based on integrating different technologies within the field of education. From the readings I have done on various websites, using programs like Photoshop can not only inspire kids to be more creative and pursue artistic careers, they can also turn into very useful skills while job hunting. I wish the best to you and hope you continue teaching these workshops. Its funny because I still can't create layers in Photoshop, maybe I should take one of your classes.
