Welcome to my learning log. The purpose of this blog is to reflect my journey as a student in Boise State's Educational Technology Graduate Program. I am eager to begin this adventure with all of you.
I'm going to be honest; I'm not a fan of video recording myself and always feel out of place when doing so. I also don't like watching myself talk for some reason, maybe because I'm overly critical of myself.
Anyways, I am a third year STEM teacher for the Anderson County Public Schools. I work with freshmen to seniors.The district is strongly pushing to implement a K-12 STEM curriculum. Currently we are pushing the Gateway to Technology and the Project Lead the Way Engineering curriculum along with the Mars Rover Design Competition in the elementary schools. Besides being a teacher, I'm the robotics coach and co-coach to the STLP organization, and part of the District STEM committee.
Though there are several nights that I have to bring work home, my family is always number one to me. I have two boys ages 4 years and 8 months. We enjoy playing outside in the warm sun with our puppy Misty. My wife has the unbelievable pleasure of staying at home with the boys and watching them grow up and playing together.
I hope this as given a small glance into my life and my personality. I'm eager to get to know each of you as we move forth into the semester.
