Tell us a bit about yourself and how you use WordPress:<\/strong>
\nWordpress has a duel purpose in my day-to-day. We use WordPress a lot in my day gig at Capgemini: We have several offerings like small brochure-ware sites, event kiosk solutions, and private extranets for managing our long-term client relationships.
\nI also volunteer for a few groups associated with my sons\u2019 school. My workplace experience comes in to play when building a site for my local PTA or school booster club. But we have no time, no budget–very off the shelf, but very effective.<\/p>\n

What will you be speaking about?<\/strong>
\nJP Peters and I will be running an interactive session on WordPress in Education.<\/p>\n

Who is your target audience? <\/strong>
\nPersons in the PK-12 or University space who are building sites to provide education resources or run volunteer\/booster groups that support any school\/program like a PTA or a club. <\/p>\n

What do you hope the WordCampers will get out of your session?<\/strong>
\nA great open-ended discussion with a lot of new options and ideas on using WordPress in the education space.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite WordPress Plugin?<\/strong>
\n\u2018Theme My Log-in\u2019–perfect for building sites that require the log-in\/profile pages to match the rest of the site. It keeps the user experience consistent for the non-technical account holder.<\/p>\n

Do you have a WP hero?<\/strong>
\nMike Devarrenne at www.swampsidestudio.com. Mike does a lot of my development work on my corporate projects. He keeps his cool, works well with my stakeholders, knows WordPress.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite tourist attraction in Chicago?<\/strong>
\nArt Institute of Chicago, try to go every time I am in town.<\/p>\n

Tell your favorite WordCamp story!<\/strong>
\nLast year at WCC2011, when John James Jacoby showed up to talk about BuddyPress for 90 minutes–that was great.
