MKA's Salehi Selected as a 2013 Expert Reviewer

Congratulations to MKA Middle School Dean of Student Life Lynn Salehi who was recently selected as a 2013 Common Sense Media Expert Reviewer.

Common Sense Media is a highly respected non-partisan, not-for-profit organization “dedicated to improving the lives of children and families by providing the trustworthy information, education and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.”

“One big reason I applied was because it would give me the opportunity to evaluate the latest in educational websites, applications and games -- and to identify the very best of them for us to consider using at MKA.” Explained Salehi, who recently completed a master’s degree in Instructional Media.  “The other was just that I am a bit of a tech nerd, and have always enjoyed finding things to suggest to colleagues and friends.  I also think the CSM's philosophy is very much in line with MKA’s approach to technology use.”

As an Expert Reviewer, Salehi will be assigned between 7 and 10 apps, games, or websites to review for 2013. In addition, she will participate in beta testing starting in March.
