Class Experience

In this class we will cover how to troubleshoot hardware problems on a computer and learn to identify common problems that occur with:
Hard drives
Power Supplies
CPU 
Motherboards
Memory
Wifi problems
We will cover the easiest ways to fix these problems and how to change these parts in a common desktop computer.  We will then cover how to change each of these parts, should they be necessary and I go over how to find appropriate replacement parts to change things. Students will then be given time to ask questions on individual computer issues they may be facing.

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.
