I am excited to share my experiences as an educator and finding out about others.
I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I have taught as a substitute teacher for a majority of my career but I also had the opportunity to help put an educational program together from the beginning till the end. I committed myself to being a great Stay At Home Dad, raising and educating my two children to help them become straight A honors students throughout high school. I even volunteered for almost every trip or anything that involved my children throughout their education.
Substitute teaching is how I found my way into the educational system. I tried every level of education from Pre-school through High School. I found Middle School to be my calling. I had the opportunity to work under the guidance of teachers I had when I was a student. I have worked as a playground supervisor, lunchroom duty, hall supervisor, coaching various teams, after school clubs, and even traveled as a teacher with over 500 students to Washington, D.C multiple times. I have been a Character Education teacher (I worked with non special education students who had issues dealing with everyday life in school), and have taught pretty much every subject from Spanish to Science.
I have always had an interest in technology and even had the opportunity to teach staff back in the 1990's about the latest websites to use for their student. One of the first sites I remember teaching staff to use was "The Electronic Library". This was during my time as a Media Center Specialist.
Today, the schools I work at use Smartboards in almost every classroom in every school in the district.
I will continue to post my experiences, but please feel free to post yours.

I found each of these website to have good information on how to use Smartboard technology.
