I am an advocate of project base learning and eLearning, preparing students for the 21st century, i.e., digital-age literacy, effective communication and inventive thinking, work ethic, collaboration, social responsibility, critical thinking and problem-solving, creativity and innovation.
My computer technology career spans a variety of New York IT companies, public and private organizations (i.e. brokerage, banking, and publishing firms, and city agencies), with divergent levels of technology: computer technology and IT user training and development, computer networks and data communication; client/server and PC local/wide area networks; operating systems; hardware and application software. I have proven to be particularly effective in working with people in a constantly changing, cutting-edge technical environment. The work is diverse and challenging.
I am a NYC public high school educator in Brooklyn.
I am striving to continually innovate practice and influence the world of education and to combine learning with real-world examples both inside and outside the classroom.
Develop small learning communities that will focus on technology (that it is changing the culture of our schools) in the following ways:
* work on things like work ethic
* teach students they have a global focus
* integrate learning
* collaboration
* content creation among students
* function in a digital global economy
* design and carry out rigorous and motivating projects, a space where students and community members come together to engage.
"...it may help us in the future to find out what our students really know as opposed to what they can give the appearance of knowing, their real learning as opposed to their apparent learning (Arithmetic Teacher 26 Sept 1978)
