Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
The course is a beginner for young students who want to learn more about or potentially build their own computer.  This class will cover the vocabulary and parts necessary to understand how computers function and transmit data.  We will also cover how the internet works and how one's computer connects to it and moves data from one computer to another.   Computer parts will be covered and placed in a computer case so learners can have an idea of how the computer is connected together to function.    Great as a basic beginner class for those students wanting to build their own computer.  Follow up websites will be left with learners if they want to continue their learning.

Teacher expertise and credentials
North Carolina Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
I teach a range of subjects in public high school, including graphic design, computer science, and preparation for the CompTIA A+ Computer Repair Test. On Outschool, I offer classes in math, science, and programming. With over 20 years in public education, I hold a Bachelor’s in Science Education, Master’s degrees in Middle Grades Math and Computer Education/Instructional Technology, and am a Nationally Board Certified teacher with an Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership. My experience spans elementary, middle, and high school levels, enabling me to effectively engage students at varying academic levels and make learning both educational and enjoyable.

My teaching philosophy centers on making technology education accessible, engaging, and relevant. I believe that understanding technology is crucial in today’s world, and my approach is to demystify complex concepts by breaking them into manageable parts. I emphasize hands-on learning and real-world applications, encouraging students to explore, experiment, and solve problems creatively.

I strive to create an inclusive environment where all students feel valued and motivated to learn. By adapting my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and academic levels, I aim to foster a growth mindset and build confidence in each student’s ability to grasp and apply technological concepts.

Technology is ever-evolving, and I believe in preparing students not just with current knowledge, but with the skills to adapt and innovate as new developments arise. My goal is to inspire curiosity and a lifelong passion for learning, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in both their academic and professional futures.
