  Burlington High School

  Aug 2006 - Jun 2013

  I collaborated with educators and students to integrate modern technology skills into classrooms. My background in both hardware, software, and pedagogy allowed me to provide start-to-finish solutions for educators. I was instrumental in helping to bring a 1:1 program to Burlington High. I also started BHS's drive to build (and print) our own textbooks in 2006, and helped to expand that program into the digital realm in the last few years. I worked to help coordinate several major (500+) conferences a year, as well as 75+ districts visiting the district. I was on the team that allowed my school to become an Apple Distinguished School for the 2012-3 year, and you can see me featured heavily in my schools Apple Education profile video on their website. Show less I taught all levels of both 9th and 12th grade English classrooms. This included working with co-teachers from the Special Education department. In this time, I also taught and developed the Media Production course, which focuses on creating digital video media. I have considerable experience with Final Cut, as well as shooting with a wide variety of cameras. During this time I developed and designed the new Senior textbook that we printed for our school. Layout was done via Adobe InDesign, and I helped manage the printing via POD services. Show less
