Marketing & Development

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Bianca D. Chandler, the Marketing & Development Director of the LRCE. Together, on the phone and with the help of the screen-share feature on Microsoft Teams, we went over the newsletter I've been working on using Canva.com. Also, I had the opportunity to ask many questions.     The biggest problems with my newsletter is that the information is presented in an odd order, with valuable information being saved for last and unimportant information presented right away. Another problem is that the text is too cluttered, and needs to be spread out. There was a minor problem with the colors - I used green and grey instead of the LRCE's red and white - but together we fixed that issue quickly. As for the font, it was incorrect according to the LRCE's graphic design standards, but, since Canva.com didn't have those fonts available, this mistake was permitted for the time being.

Harp of Burma

    Recently, I was asked to find a book that would make an appropriate and useful inclusion to the LRCE catalog. A book that, while entertaining, instructive and timeless, doesn't contain any controversial subject matter that might be inappropriate in a classroom full of young students. I decided that the catalog would most benefit from a work of literature that hasn't already been incorporated into it; that way, through my suggestion, I can introduce the LRCE, and by extension, its patrons and students K-12 to new material and ways of thinking. Being an avid reader and owning a sizable collection of books myself, I decided to pick one out that I enjoyed myself as a younger man. Unlike many of the books on the LRCE catalog, it is written by a Japanese author, which I believe will add an element of diversity to the catalog, and introduce patrons and students to new points of view and lead them to asking critical questions. The book I have chosen is the Harp of Burma , also kno...
