Narrative

Senior Technology Professional

I have over 18 years of experience as the senior technology professional in a number of Pennsylvania school districts, both small and large. This included  a tenure  as the Director of Information Technology in Pennsylvania's third largest school district. I also have additional experiences in Education, Business, and the Military.  I am currently retired from public school service.

Major projects I have played a key role in, include: the replacement of a 2,300 handset phone system across 26 buildings; the implementation of a BYOD initiative across 23 schools and the authoring of a related School Board Policy and training materials; various online learning initiatives, including, Blackboard.com, Office 365, and Moodle; the implementation of Performance Tracker/Plus and Assessment Builder to capture, track and analyze digital assessments; the authoring of the district’s social media policy as well as monitoring and advising the district on new developments in that area; the migration of three districts to SchoolWires website content management solution; the deployment of nearly 1,000 iPads to improve instruction in grades K-2; and, initiatives to install interactive whiteboards/projectors and multimedia classrooms.

Through my experiences with many projects, I have directly provided staff development on some topics, coordinated closely with the curriculum directors and staff developers, and my sole function as a Technology Integration Specialist was to provide direct support to all curriculum area teachers in the use of technology to improve instruction.

As the senior technology administrator, I also have a wide array experiences with a large number of technology infrastructure projects related to both administrative and instructional technology.
