Biography
I was a teacher/administrator in 3 high schools for 39 years. My BA and MA are in English, and my Ph.D. is in Educational technology. I taught English (all levels) for the first 30 years, and then became a HS technology director for the last 9 years where I taught programming courses and ran the school's computer system. I also taught some AP English during this time when we needed someone to fill in.
