My teaching philosophy
I realize I haven’t written in a while, but several things have been going on. I am now teaching a night class at the Art Institute of Dallas. The class is web development for graphic design. So far I’m enjoying the time I spend teaching.
My wife is a teacher as well and I’ve heard several teacher-like statements from her, so now it’s my turn to espouse my teaching philosophy.
I teach the way that I wish I was taught.
— Sal Khan, Khan Academy (via)
Not a very long philosophy, huh? I think we all have these same feelings about parenting: “When I grow up and have kids, I’m never going to make them do ____.” I’m serious though. I teach the way I learned best. I show examples I think are relevant and helped me. I guess a teacher is nothing more than a knowledge aggregator.
Résumé

About John Keese
I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. My collegiate career brought me to Texas where I attended The University of Texas at Dallas. I completed my studies there by receiving my MFA in Arts and Technology.
My life is devoted first to serving my God*; because of Him and His Son Jesus Christ, I have a new life. Second, my life is devoted to my wife, Bobbi. We are currently in our second year of marriage and I love her more and more each day. We have one child on the way (June 24?) and we can’t wait for him to come out!

My next priorities are work, soccer, ultimate frisbee, snowboarding, rock climbing, making art, joking around, trying to learn something new, paintball, softball — you know, all the good stuff. If you’re ever in the Dallas area, shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to help you out.
I am currently employed at the Dallas Market Center where my title is “Multimedia Designer.” Before working at DMC, I freelanced and went to school. I “specialize” in web design, graphic design, interactive design and multimedia design. I continue to freelance and am always looking for new projects. Drop me a line if you need something.
