About Me:
Hello, I am a technology teacher at a K-6 elementary school. I have been the tech teacher at my school for six years. I was offered the job as Technology Teacher because of my experience not because of my schooling. Two years ago, I decided to go back to school and finish my 30 year old bachelor degree. I am an excellent student who looks to graduate in 2009. I started working with technology in 1990, was one of AOLs first customers, helped to network five schools(that was before the work had to contracted out), keep current with new technology, and own a MAC and a PC laptop.
