My name is Cybèle (pronounced C-Bell) and I get my groove on from technology. My passion is in emerging technologies such as webcasts, podcasts, & online surveys, and using them as a tool for collaboration and training. I believe that technology should be accessible and fun for people – not scary – and so most of my writing is accessible and easy to read. But don't be fooled by this, I can also write in a formal academic style, for marketing purposes, or just about any format needed.

 

This website is full of articles, interviews, and podcasts about how to best use these tools, and then some about education and knowledge management. Broadly speaking, my goal is to help adults use technology in ways to make their lives easier. Sometimes that’s with articles, but I also take a more direct approach through online training, website development, internet research, and data analysis. You could say that I’m your technology go-to girl.

 

I invite you to check out the wide variety of materials here, nearly all of which are available in webpages, as well as in Acrobat and Word versions for full accessibility. I also have a number of articles on training strategies which aren’t published here yet because they’re going to various magazines, but if you’re interested, I can send them to you.

 

Feel free to e-mail me at cybelew@aol.com if you have any comments or questions.

Other Writing

In addition to my articles about my profession, I’ve been writing for a long time about a variety of subjects. My most popular series is called Mindful Living, which is a non-denominational spirituality column which ran in a number of local newspapers for some years. Over the years I also wrote a wide variety of articles from movie reviews, to business updates, to interviews on local VIPs. Because I collect toy cash registers, I’ve also published a number of pieces on vintage toy collecting in Toyzine magazine online.

Inner Eye Photography

One of my main hobbies is photography, but it has also grown into something more as I have been called into service as a specialist in conference photography and portraits in natural settings. Almost everyone tells me that they are “unphotogenic,” but I’ve found that there are no unphotogenic people, only bad photographers. I can find the beauty in every person.
