The truth is, I am not really an expert in anything. I just LOVE to learn.  For me, teaching at the flagship New Technology school has been one amazing and incredible learning experience.  I often choose projects for my students that are things I personally would like to learn.  And, of course, I build into every project, the opportunity for students to write, practice math and learn Digital Media technical skills.

But at the heart of it all, it's about being as excited as the students to learn something fresh and new.  It's refreshing to not have to always be the expert, refreshing to be the one who says "I don't know.  Where would be find the answer to that question?  Let's look together!" 

This is at the heart of why I teach Project Based Learning and why I LOVE my job at New Tech High, Napa.

   So something you will quickly learn at New Tech and any school you go to where you work with people, is that there are some people who have the hardest time staying focused and getting their work done on time. This is an even bigger problem when they have access to something as distracting as the intern. Because of this, I have created this segment on how to handle off-task team mates.
