Local University Learns about Grant Writing Technologies with SparkDawn Media

Hampton University StudentsDuring a Friday afternoon workshop, SparkDawn Media taught Hampton University staff members how to improve their grant-writing process with three technology tools. We delivered an interactive presentation, including videos, handouts, and hands-on learning where we helped each staff member create and configure the tools they’ll need to pursue state and federal grants that will help them transform the lives of their students. Thanks for hosting us, HU!

My Paparazzi-Mama Moment

I’m embarrassed to admit how many photos I’ve taken. Sure, I’m a photographer now, but even when I was still just a hobbyist I was known for always running around with my camera — taking WAY too many pictures — and our sons were two of my favorite subjects. Here’s what happened when I turned the camera on to record our youngest son at bedtime. Actually, it was about 30 minutes past bedtime, which is why it turned out like it did.

In case you’re wondering:

  1. The camera wasn’t broken.
  2. That was then, this is now.
