My Project

As Barack Obama states, "Computers are going to be part a big part of our future ... and that future is yours to shape."

As educators, it is our responsibility to prepare our students to be productive members of the twenty-first century in the field of computer science.

I teach a dynamic bunch of enthusiastic and creative fourth-grade students who will prepare for a bright future.

Hardi Partovi states, "And so in this day and age, computer science is no longer just vocational for getting a job, in this day and age, computer science is completely foundational for any job you may want to have in the next 20 to thirty years. And so the real question is, Can our public education system evolve?"

This quote resonates with me because as supporters of our students' future, we need to embrace technology head-on and enable our public education system to continue to evolve.

Computer science teaches you more than just using a computer. It teaches you to become inquisitive thinkers as you collaborate with peers and solve real-world problems through an application as you learn through failure. Resilience is needed in any job.

My students need a Chromebook to complete computer science activities such as Scratch Junior, Tynker, and Wonder Workshop. Computer science needs to be taught to everyone because technology is changing the world around us. We need to teach children how to get computers to do unusual things like coding a computer to make music, inventing new things, and sharing our creations with the world. Computer science plays a vital role in the technology industry. We need to put our students in the "driver's seat" as they become innovators and entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
