My Students

I am our school's Technology instructor and have the privilege of teaching the entire student body! Being that they are taught in an IB and STEM certified environment, its important that they have rich, real-world experiences.

My students are very inquisitive and love learning about how things work.

We are also a Title I School where 100% of students receive free breakfast and lunch. I would really like to provide experiences for the kids so that they can see the beauty of problem solving and creative solutions through the use of technology.

My Project

Yes, robots are fun. But they’re much more than tools of amusement. They are perfect for learning critical thinking skills. By using a series of challenges like a maze, students are forced to innovate, collaborate and test.

Gaining this skill set in Technology class is highly valuable especially when applying it in to math and science.

I’ll introduce the idea of programming during ‘Hour of Code’ this December. Kindergartners will get the opportunity to see and experience the mouse robot maneuvering through the maze. The Dash boys intended for upper grades students will also be used for the same purpose. By the end of the unit, students will code their very own program!
