Cyber Defender & Databank Supervisor
Because of her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Maya started out as a librarian. While she loved her job, she wanted to do more to help protect people.
Since Cyber Villains such as Ms. Information and Elvirus can corrupt websites and the information on them, Maya teaches people to protect themselves by using caution when visiting websites and avoiding sites that are not trustworthy.

Cyber Terminology: What is HTML?
HTML is short for Hyper Text Markup Language and is a programming language used for Web site files. HTML files have the file extension .HTM or .HTML.
HTML code creates the structure of a Web site by using text “tags” to designate the different visual parts of the site. For example, a paragraph has a different tag than a picture does, and the browser knows to display them differently based on their tags. Another tag type, link tags, tell the browser that when a visitor clicks on the link it should go to a different Web page, and the URL of that page is part of the link tag code.

Databank assistant
Despite a few stumbles at the beginning of the semester, Alexi has been an invaluable assistant to me this semester. With Erika's help she's come up with a time management system that's flexible enough to allow her to explore but still allows her to get things done. I'm very impressed by the change in her.
She's expressed interest in continuing as my assistant next year, but I think there's another job for her that would be a perfect fit. I need to talk to Betty about it first though.
