About Me
I have been teaching since 2001, and have been doing science/texas/grand-prairie">Computer Science since 2016. I have experience teaching all grade levels K-8, and have taught science/texas/grand-prairie">computer science to mostly 4-8 and some to 2nd-4th.
Experience
I have taught most of, if not all, of the CTE middle school courses. I have grown with the new technologies and continue to learn new and innovative ways to teach the skills to the students. It really never gets old.
Approach
I try to teach basic skills and build from there. I start with general knowledge and add on a little at a time. I learned at one point that "education is slow", so I try not to push the students tp quickly into complex projects and programs. However, if the students are ready, I will introduce them to cool stuff, and we can explore the world of science/texas/grand-prairie">Computer Science in the 21st century!
