I am currently teaching high school physics and physical science at Iroquois High School on the east side of Erie, Pennsylvania. Most of my students are juniors and seniors with a handful of sophomores thrown in to keep it interesting!


 * Few Facts about myself:**


 * 1) I was fortunate to get a job in my field of study, that I love, just a month after graduation!
 * 2) I love photography but don't have enough time, at the moment, to do as much of it as I would like.
 * 3) I am more or less addicted to coffee.
 * 4) I love computers and being able to connect with technology. But, at the same time, I love a good book or a face to face conversation with a good friend!


 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:**

I am really looking forward to learning more tips and tools that I can apply to my own classroom. Being that this is my first year teaching I have just been so overwhelmed with making sure I have enough material for the period, making sure I prepare the students for state tests and college, hoping the students respect and like me and praying they learn something. I would love to use technology more and I'm hoping this class will show me how to successfully use it and give me some ideas I've never thought of before.


 * My favorite game(s):**

Currently, my favorite game is "Just Dance 2" on the Wii. Some of my friends got it for Christmas and it's honestly just a good time - whether you can dance or not. As far as board games, I am a huge Cranium fan. Cranium combines a lot of my favorite games (charades, Pictionary, etc) into one. It's a lot of fun for a group of people it's a guarantee that you will laugh and have a good time!

This is me (R) with my best friend after graduation. His name is also Jake!
