I have students write an autobibliography through the books, films, comics, websites, they've read/and or visited in their lives; I'd like to help them set up live links to these on the web. I've been a curriculum coordinator with Girls Write Now, a volunteer mentoring organization that does monthly seminars with young female teen writers in schools in nyc, and pairs them with mentors who are writers, and I've been a mentor for them for 4 years, teaching workshops at public libraries on memoir and the personal essay for College admissions & beyond; I started using the internet in 1994 at NYU, and learned about Facebook in 2004 through my NYU students. I want to teach girls and myself to be fluent in computer language so someone else doesn't always hold the power
