Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been in the computer industry since the early 70s, and over that time have watched as well as participated in technology from old to new. I have actually developed some commercial security software and hold a patent about computer security (encryption). This gives me a very broad view of the concepts from hardware to software to user involvement. My goal is to pass along these 4+ decades of experience to the next generation in a way that is fun, effective, and memorable.
