Experience

Teaching style

My teaching approach centers on authentic project-based learning that integrates multiple subjects and real-world applications. Drawing from my 20+ years as a computer science educator, I create comprehensive PBL units that combine digital literacy, critical thinking, and hands-on exploration. My lesson plans feature step-by-step project guides, differentiated learning pathways, and embedded technology integration for grades K-12. Each resource is designed to support both traditional classroom settings and distance learning environments, with clear learning objectives and assessment rubrics.
