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.
