[Itech] News on Jamie Smith

[Teresa Franklin]

Hello All,

Many of you have either had a class with Jamie as she worked on her PHD or
had her as your instructor for a class you took in the MED program.  I
thought you might be interested to know... see her note below:

I'm a *Blended Learning Advisor, Designer and E-learning specialist (BLADE)
for the School of Education at the University of Western Sydney* (though we
are going through a huge re-brand and will be Western Sydney University by
the end of the month). I'm really enjoying my job so far - I have a good
time working one-on-one with staff and I get to pick up new skills all the
time through troubleshooting (which I love) and even get to sneak in some
visual design work (which I also enjoy). They have equipped me with a
MacBook Pro, an iPad, an Apple monitor and the entire Adobe Suite (the
Adobe Creative Suite alone is enough to entice me to work for free, but the
salary isn't too shabby).

*Congrats on your new job -- but wait there is more!!!!!!*

We (Jamie and Aaron) got married the morning of July 6 at Waimanalo Beach
on Oahu - and it was awesome :) It was the first time our families had met
in person (though they felt like they were old friends, thanks to
Facebook), and we had a blast. It was just 10 of us on a beach - we
scripted the ceremony, and Aaron's brother officiated. My sister and both
sets of parents also spoke, so everyone got to participate. No fussy
planning or coordinating - we all went to a luau for the reception that
night. It was exactly what we wanted - all fun and love and no stress! And
the rest of the time was just an amazing vacation! We hung out with our
families on Oahu and then Aaron and I went on to visit Kauai and the big
island of Hawai'i. Our wedding photos are supposed to take about 3 months
and the videographer said the video would be 4-6 months, so I don't have
those to share yet. We did work a GoPro into our wedding budget, though
(priorities!) and I put together my own video of our trip:

Please send your congratulations to Jamie and Aaron!  (And the video is
awesome!  :)

Best wishes,
Dr. Franklin
