Sharon Brown Receives Fourth Invitation to
Apple Distinguished Educator Summer Institute
(Santa Ana, CA)—Twin passions for technology and design have driven Dr. Sharon Brown throughout her career in corporate America and academia, most recently with Santa Ana College as associate professor of digital media arts. Her 30-year relationship with Apple computers and her far-reaching ability to integrate technology into curriculum have earned Brown a fourth invitation to the prestigious Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE) Summer Institute.
In July, Brown will join approximately 100 international educators at the ADE Summer Institute 2007, held at California State University, Monterey Bay. Although ADE is a permanent professional designation, only 100 ADEs are invited to participate each July in Apple’s Summer Institute. Founded in 1994, the program brings together a cadre of international leaders in the field of educational technology for the exchange of innovative ideas about projects, technologies and techniques. The 2007 group comprises higher education attendees from across the United States, as well as some from Australia, Canada, Singapore and Europe.
“The entire camp is wireless,” Brown explains. “A very innovative coach takes some 100 strangers and turns us into a team devoted to process and consensus building. One of the many highlights is the project planning that will begin at the Institute and continue through the next academic year.”
With a background in elementary and secondary art instruction, Brown moved into the corporate world where she was president of Interactive Video Corporation in Houston. From there she went on to manage an interactive media team for NCR. When NCR was acquired by AT&T, she served as a director of multimedia resources and as a consultant for multimedia marketing.
Along the way, Brown looked back fondly on her days in the classroom and returned to teaching, this time in community colleges. In 1999 Brown joined Santa Ana College, a part of the Rancho Santiago Community College District, where she served on the planning team for SAC’s new Digital Media Center. She also teaches art, computer graphics, multimedia, project management and other communications-based topics.
