Keeping Up with Alumni
This page is a place for alumni of the ITC courses to update us with news and links to sites they have worked on. Email a two or three sentence news update, your picture, and links to your sites to me. I will review it (and add my own comments), and post it to the site.
Email me with this link. It will let you send me a note without opening Outlook, etc. The accomplishments of students who have been through the DTP and Web courses are a great encouragement to me.
Take a look at what some have done.

I'm currently still doing school and helping my husband (Ben Farmer) with his business." She has also been busy designing sites:

- Sebastian Jarrett June-06
- Sebastian has recently return from a leadership training course in California. He tells me, "I have really only designed one web site so far. I worked on a couple of others, but someone else was also working on them, so they aren't really my designs. The one that I did is Young Voices of Colorado. It is the web site for my sister's choir."
- Laura Schaffer June-06
- Laura has been teaching DTP courses at her church. She says, "the last one went very well, and it is exciting to see the curriculum come together better each time." Laura also teaches piano.
- Amy Kent June-06
- Amy writes, "As soon as I got home from the DTP class last fall my dad started preaching on a series and I designed a bulletin insert with questions and scripture memory on the topic for the members of our church to complete for each coming Sunday. It was a blast doing it in color, but then the church decided to go with black and white because of the expense of color copying (We're a small congregation and there isn't a lot of extra money). After that, I was busy working on starting my magazine but I have run into some problems and haven't had time to get it up and going as of late. I still hope to one of these days, and when I do, the information I learned at the DTP class will be invaluable."
