Hi! My name is Paul Cesaretti. I teach Driver's Education at Dubuque Senior High School in Dubuque, IA. After twenty years of teaching, I still get a kick out of working with the students. My wife, Jan, and I have two kids of our own. Matt is a H.S. Senior and attends school in my same building - which is kind of fun and our daughter, Megan, is at Iowa State University. Both kids are taking classes this semester that involve web design, so we're all doing this together (except that I think I am the only one that might be considered "at risk"!) I really enjoy working on my computer, but I haven't had the opportunity to work with web pages.
Outside the classroom, I admit to being crazy about my Harley Davidson motorcycle. I bought my first one three years ago, put 32,000 miles on it seeing the country, and am waiting for my new model to come this spring! In addition to doing lots of bike riding, I am also involved with other Harley riders. I do newsletters, flyers for events, and mailings from my computer at home.
Primarily, I hope to be able to learn how to use the web page to help my students and their parents understand driver's education. From working with the Harley Davidson group, I have had some exposure to great special effects that help make a web site interesting. I have already "jazzed up" my Power Point presentations for class with the sounds of engines starting and gears shifting, etc., but I need to learn the specifics of web design before I can go any farther!
