My name is Joseph Bishara, and I am somewhat of a media renaissance man, combining classroom teaching experience, multimedia production experience, documentary and film direction experience, TV commercial advertising experience, and an in-depth education about instructional technology.  In 2001, he became an instructional technologist by earning a Master of Education degree from Texas Tech University, where he focused on integrating new research and technology into the improvement of education through usability. His commitment to create intriguing media began at the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico, where in 1994, Bishara earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in filmmaking with a minor emphasis in biology. With his knowledge and background, Bishara brought his experience into high school and college classrooms. Bishara taught courses including physics, mathematics, and video production.  Bishara directed and produced the student film Simeon’s Promise, which the WorldFest International Film Festival awarded the Top Honors Bronze Prize. He also received the 2001 Aubrey N. Davis Family Memorial Award for his vision and leadership. Finally, he is responsible for creating the amazing and lifelike Space Ape helmet for this production.
