Profiles of lensmasters
Who are the people in this neighborhood? Here's who!
- Teaching, Together
- Educator Helen Teague plans to use Squidoo to help teachers and junior high school students learn more effectively -- and efficiently. She explores the visual nature of learning, the "invitation to publish" and the need for multiple paths to the right answer.
- Never Mind the Generation Gap
- Many seniors think that online publishing technology is beyond them. Grandmother Barbara Vance says that Squidoo offers them the opportunity to have a say on the web. And she plans to teach other active seniors how to do just that.
- Creat, Consistently
- Kevin Patch has made a multitude of healthcare-related lenses, each with a different subject -- but all with a consistent format and approach.
- You Are What You Know
- Steve Garfield contributes to more than 25 blogs and web sites. Rather than direct people to multiple locations, he decided to aggregate his activities in a couple of lenses: One personal, one professional.
