About Me

40+ Years in Education as a Middle School Science Teacher - Digital Innovator Since Reading Seymour Papert’s Children’s Machine 1993; enjoyed the curricular freedom of working at an Independent School since 1987. Currently, hoping to leave classroom to work on larger projects related to preparing today’s generation of students for a world no one in education saw coming a few decades ago.
