PRAISE OF JACOB MILLER, CLASS OF 2009: For His Service
to Westside as a Web Design Instructor, February - June 2008.
(Tonkin)
Many of you know and love Jacob Miller, Class of 2009. For
those of you who don't know him, Jake is humble, hardworking,
incredibly bright and very talented with digital technology,
and is commonly referred to as Westside's Web Master".
Jake founded his own Print & Design business in 2007,
DampFlame Designs, and has designed websites for the Seattle
Times and Reeltime, as well as dozens of other private clients,
the list grows more impressive by the month. Jake has acted
as both a judge and a contestant in DECA competitions, and
is a gem to work with in any capacity, as he is extremely
professional, mature and friendly. I hope all of you will
get the chance to work with Jake before he graduates next
year.
Jake
taught Web Design in Codling's absence. Jake volunteered to
teach Codling's Web Design class in February when Codling
hadn't yet returned. While Codling's substitute, Maurice Regnier,
has worked extremely hard keeping things afloat in Mr. C's
absence, Mr. Regnier admittedly does not have a background
in Web Design, so he has provided structure for the class,
and networked for community connections for the students,
while Jacob has taught all the technology basics. Jake created
a curriculum and lesson plans for Web Design, and by the second
week in to the class, there was a waiting list of 7 people
(or so I heard). Pretty good for a class with a teacher out
on leave. Once kids heard Jake was teaching, they flooded
to sign up! The lucky students who got into the class have
now acquired industry-level skills worth $45-$60, thanks to
Jacob, as he taught CSS in combination with the Macromedia
Suite (Dreamweaver, Flash, etc.). These are serious life/job
skills to pass onto teenagers. YAAAY JAKE!!!
Please give Jake props when you see him. He really has given
a gift to these other students, and to our schools, through
his generosity and vision!
On behalf of the students and staff at Westside….THANK
YOU SO MUCH JAKE!
