Margo Wilson


Margo Wilson is having second thoughts about teaching a multimedia class next year after surviving a week at Newsplex. She truly enjoyed Newsplex and thinks it might be better to integrate multimeda into most of the classes she teaches at California University of Pennsylvania.

One of two professors in the journalism program, Margo should know by July whether she was promoted to associate professor. She won tenure in 2007.

She arrived at her teaching post in Southwestern Pennsylvania after 20 years as a reporter and editor at newspapers in Canada, Wisconsin, Indiana, and California, including the L.A. Times.

Some of the progams she was introduced to at Newsplex include:
Imeem-a program to upload music to the web and Audacity for audio editing
Twitter-a social networking and microblogger service
Vimeo--a video editing program

to name a few...
