My Philosophy
As you enter my classroom, I will treat you with the same respect you treat me. My classroom is for learning and will be used accordingly. I believe all children can learn according to their style of learning and the right amount of encouragement. I will not expect any more from you than I would my own child. My job is to teach you the appropriate technology and career skills needed for you to succeed in the workforce of tomorrow and I will do my very best to see these skills are mastered.

What ict I students are saying…
“The best thing about ICT I is learning how to move your fingers in the correct way. It's a great life skill many people need. My favorite project was the Vacation activity. My favorite application was PowerPoint. It's fun. I've learned how to do different things. One thing I’ve
learned is typing and using different applications needs work, and time to improve. It's been fun.”
-Mackenzie W., ICT I Student
“The best thing about ICT I is being able to do PowerPoint and Photo Story. I enjoyed the Photo Story thing the most. I found Microtype the most useful. I am proud of being able to type around 45 to 50 GWAM every day.”
-Lauren W., ICT I Student
“My favorite project was probably the "All about Me" PowerPoint. Oh and yes I am proud of my achievement. I could NEVER have been able to type that fast if it weren’t for ICT I. The best thing about ICT I is that it is kind of hard, but it is kind of like a break from all the other mind blowing classes that we take…!”
