EdTech leader in Western New York. Classes can be more engaging and innovative if technology is being used.
Married with 2 children. One child just graduated and lives in Pittsburgh, PA. The other child is still in college.
I make winter hats and give them away to students who don't have a hat in the winter. I just enjoy making the hats.

rickweinberg<p>This article explains how a school could have a 90% attendance but a 30% absenteeism rate. This article mentions a pet peeve of mine. Learning loss.
