Nina Tisch
Nina is a master's candidate in Instructional Technology at

doing all sorts of other amazing odd jobs). She has a B.A.
from Yale University--where she majored in American
Studies--and an M.A. in Music Composition from New York
University. Her educational songs for children have been used
on CD's and audio tapes in conjunction with instructional
courseware published by Silver Burdett Ginn and Optical Data

American Museum of Natural History and in schools throughout
the country. Nina is hoping to be able to combine her writing
abilities with the theoretical and technical knowledge of
instructional technology in order to design effective and
entertaining instructional material for children.
