Cloud Woman
 "Cloud Woman" is a new
American folktale that is certain to become a classic children's story.
Cloud Woman lives high in the puffy clouds and loves winter. It's her favorite
time of the year, but she notices the children on Earth are not happy with the
brisk winds. She ponders why they would be so unhappy and then she gets a
wonderful idea.
"It took about 5 years to write this book. It was kid-tested over and over.
Originally, it was to teach about the role of clouds in the making of weather. I
couldn't find any really fun books about clouds.
JETKOR made it precise and poignant. A good editor is worth everything.
I love children and snow and wind and I think that this book says it all."
- Georgia Hedrick

“Teachers
teaching teachers”
Teachers teach teachers best.
This
is what the National Writing Project is all about--teachers teaching teachers.
Mouse-Training
That’s
how it all begins, with a well-trained mouse, computer mouse, of course.
It is a matter of control, and focus, and practice on the Paintbrush
program, and our teacher-consultant can train your teachers to do just that.
"... it all boils down to one thing: the mouse in
your cyber-life ..."
Computer Creativity Training
We
really can show you how. All
we need is time. Your time. And
teachers. We need teachers. We need teachers who want to know, want to try, want
to do. Teachers are the most important element of education. Once
that teacher knows how, then the ‘how-to’ is spread onward. All
you need is money. $250.00/daily
for a full school day. These presentations are for the whole school,
and by the whole school. We supply the text, the method, the practice, and the training.
Whole School Presentations are created by Georgia Hedrick

ILLUSTRATING, PRODUCING
STORIES, ALL ON A COMPUTER.
Born on the South Side of Chicago in 1939 of Polish-German-Russian parents, Georgia was educated in Catholic Schools with her brother and sister. When she graduated at 17, she entered the Order of the Daughters of Charity where she was further educated and became a teacher and discovered her talent to write.
For 15 years she was Sister Alma and taught in New Orleans and then, in St.
Louis. Finally, she joined the rest of the world and continued to teach in St.
Louis until the end of 1974, moving to California.
There she met Bruce, her husband, now of 25 years.
After 37 years of teaching, she retired, and continued writing, this time as a teacher-consultant for the Northern Nevada Writing Project.
Traveling in their Motor Home to the small towns of Nevada as the Roaring Lion Ebook Writing business, she reads her stories and educates teachers and students on the world of
eBook writing.
Sarah Winnemucca is her hero, whose phrase, "they came like a lion, like a roaring lion, and nothing has been the same since" is the opening line for the first book ever written by a Native American woman. It was published in 1883.
