Landstown Elementary Computer Resource Program

I am very excited about joining the staff at Landstown Elementary School. This is my sixth year as a Computer Resource Specialist and my 19th year in public education.  I have a Masters degree in Instructional Technology and am working on my International Society for Technology in Education, NETS T certification. My wife Carol also works in the Virginia Beach School system and we have a spoiled terrier named Otis.

 One of the first things you will notice is that all teachers at Landstown will have websites this year. You can access these sites from our website (www.landstownes.vbschools.com). These websites will become important tools for parent/teacher communication and I am very excited about the possibilities that will come out of this new initiative.

 You will also find that this year we will be introducing many new technologies to our students, with an emphasis on how to use these technologies safely in the learning process.  Many students will be learning about blogging and podcasts for the very first time!

 I look forward to meeting all  the parents and teachers at Landstown Elementary! Let the learning begin.
