My first book (http://amzn.to/1ljFgf6) is now required reading for the Fashion Institute of Technology's newest course on Digital Literacy.
When I dropped out of university, everyone told me it was a sign I couldn't finish anything and that I was a failure. I knew that university wasn't right for me, yet hearing so much negativity, I definitely didn't entertain the idea than within 10 years, I'd have received an honorary degree AND I'd have written a book that was required university reading!!
If you have any questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer.
Digital Literacy for Designers - Fashion Institute of Technology This course examines the concept of digital literacy through the lens of Art and Design.

Students will create content in a variety of forms, making use of new digital tools to support knowledge creation in a socially networked world. Students will work collaboratively to improve the civic life of their community, and understand that digital literacy is a core competency in the digital age.
