Consulting

I do some consulting when time allows. My focus is on showing how technology can be used to teach standards while both engaging students and increasing 21st Century Skills. I’ve worked with a number of school districts all over the U.S. and have presented at numerous educational technology conferences.

Unique Experience

I have experience teaching in elementary, middle (alternative classroom) and college classrooms which gives me the ability to speak with authority on how to use these tools from a variety of perspectives. I’ve also taught reading, history and English in addition to collaborating with teachers in all subject areas. I also have the unique experience of working in HCPS – a large one-to-one PC/Mac laptop environment of over 25,000 students.

Here are a few of the workshops and presentations I’ve done in the past. Don’t see what you want? Contact me and we might be able to work something out.

  • 1 to 1 Environments- integration, planning, skills
  • Blogging- next level uses for all subject areas
  • Google Earth- original and innovative uses of Google Earth in all subject areas
  • Web 2.0- the why and how in all subject areas covering all sorts of applications as well as concepts
