Hi. My name is Thom Gillespie. I'm the creator and director of the MIME program in newMedia design at Indiana University where I teach classes with names such as Intro to 3D Modeling & Animation, Art, Entertainment & and Information, and Interactive Storytelling and Computer Game Design. When I'm not teaching I write for a couple of magazines. My favorite column is for Technos where I am the cafeTechnos maitre d'Igital. My most recent columns are: Brazil's Museum of the Person Psst, wanna do a phrontisterion?? When customs change, writing changes Violence, Games & Art My Lunch with Annie Lang: Children, Violence, Imitation (and a darned good house salad) LOL: Lots of Luck? Laughing out Loud? Or, learning Outside the Lines ... Rip, Mix and Burn ... an Education Cmdr. Laurel's Tricky Decision If Baboons Ran Schools Ich bin ein Illiterati Why Grand Theft Auto is wonderful for teaching ethics and morality I'm also the Prime Minister of mediajazz. A while back Dory and I designed the VINES project, a state wide information literacy project for Ivy Tech State College in Indiana. I love to travel and have worked north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska and slightly south of the Equator in Central Java for the United Nations. In the summer I've often taught at the Canadian Film Center's newMedia habit@t in Toronto. Lately, I've taught at the 21st Century Project in Juneau Alaska and have gotten involved with a very interesting organization in Brazil called the Museum of the Person. This has lead to a storytelling project in Bloomington called pickUp. This site goes live in mid March of 2002. If you need someone to either do or teach 3D modling and world design, interactive storytelling and/or computer game design then I'm your man. Send mail! I am very partial to strange difficult situations and I love working kids and people with energy to spare. A more traditional resume          An even goofier resume
