Anny+Ewing

I'm Anny Ewing, teacher of K-5th Spanish at Westtown School. I've wandered a bit in my career as an educator, having gone to graduate school in Linguistics in the early 80s, where I also was a TA in French and Linguistics; then taught high school French and Spanish at Westtown and at Swiss Semester in Zermatt in the later 80s; followed by a brief stint in shoe biz (working for an importer with shoe factories in Mexico and China) and in college counseling at Shipley; and then 14 years developing multimedia materials for foreign language educators and textbook publishers with the Project for International Communication Studies (PICS) at the University of Iowa, and on my own as Altamira Educational Solutions. I finally returned to the classroom at the "just right" level when I came back to Westtown in 2002 to teach Lower School Spanish.

Teaching language to elementary age students is by far the most creative work I have done in my varied career in education. Return to Westtown Team page. . . . . . . . . . . Scroll down for digital footprint. . . . . . . . . . ..

[|Anny's digital footprint 10-19-09.doc] So I Googled myself on 10-19-09 and came up with a stack of references dating back to 1980. The accurate references drop off sharply after page 4, but I was tickled to find a reference to work I did for a textbook publisher as deep as p. 34! Most of the 80s listings have to do with work I did while in graduate school in Linguistics at Penn; 90s listings refer to my work with foreign language multimedia development at PICS (U of Iowa) or with textbook publishers, and the 2000s are from Westtown or FaceBook/LinkedIn or some other online directory type listing. I am a bit uneasy to find some of the instances are from me posting a query or a response on a listserv, or even simply being listed as a friend on somebody else's FaceBook page.
