Frank Palacio is a Belize-born author and educator who went to school in the United States. Today the accomplished scholar he was back home launching two books.
The first is named "Facebook Education: From Middle School to Old School" and the second is named "From the USA to Belize"
They were launched at the Image Factory today and we found out more about them from the author himself:
Frank Palacio - Author
"The first book, 'Middle Schoolin', is the experiences and stories that come out of the classroom by being a teacher for over 10 years, including those experiences that instructional value. They are high human-interest stories about things that go on in a public school. 'Facebook Education' is a book that tells us about why people seem fascinated with Facebook, why it's such a global phenomenon."
Reporter
"Why did you feel the need to write a book on Facebook?"
Frank Palacio
"The book about Facebook, I think, it has high reader interests. It can encourage people to see the good side of technology."
Yasser Musa - Celebrant, Book Launch Ceremony
"The body of arts, which includes all the arts, must be filled with the blood of artists. Frank, the writer, has added his hemoglobin to the body of ideas we so desperately seek to promote and foster here at the Image Factory. This book really is kind of a memoir in a way, and he outlines in very short chapters - but very engaging chapters - how he feels when he wakes up, and he's getting a flood of birthday greetings, how he feels when people are raising funds for hurricane relief, how rapidly that occurs - using the social media - and that he hopes that the queen uses the social media one day. So, it's a lot of - not just his exploration of valuable reasons for using this - but a kind of weird insight."
Palacio is a graduate of California Sate University, Los Angeles.
His book is available widely and at the Image Factory Bookstore...
