Meet the Renovator

My name is Helen DeWaard. I am an educator, principal, university instructor and mother. My interests in educational technology began with the first introduction of personal computers. I have experienced ICONs, Commodore 64's, dot matrix printers, tape deck and floppy disk drives, Palm Pilots, and Apple IIg's. I now enjoy ipads, iphones, cloud computing, online gaming and social networking.

Renovation projects will continue. 

Karen Mulhallen, in the recent edition of Descant Magazine, states
"to renovate is to renew; to make it new. 
To make it new can be to resume, to revive, to recover, to regenerate." (Descant, p. 11) 

Each part of this quote speaks to me of what I have become and will continue to become through the MET renovation experience. My rooms are full. My house is revitalized. Yet there is still work to be done. Some of the creations are listed here.... many more will be added as I continue renovating in real life and real time.
