My Resume
Who I Am
I have been in education for over 15 years. Most of which has been as a Technology Teacher and Librarian. My passion is technology and my goal is to seamlessly integrate it into our daily lives. I believe that coding is a skill that children should start to develop early and I have many ways that I would like to integrate it into the curriculum. Technology is just a tool, and it is important how we learn to wield it. I want to educate students and teachers how to do this so that they can be lifelong learners. I have a son, Noah, and a wife of 16 years, Wendy. My wife is also a Teacher and a Librarian who just went back to school to get a masters in ABA Therapy. |
