About David

"I have a passion for helping people live a more effective and efficient lifestyle by utilizing technology. Within the school system, I put a strong emphasis on using technology to get students engaged in genuine learning, rather than just engaged in technology as a gaming platform. As a computer tutor, I enjoy teaching digital immigrants how technology can work for anyone.

Training

"My experience in training teachers to integrate technology in the classroom has prepared me to help others integrate technology into their lives. Schedule permitting, I offer in-home one-on-one computer tutoring. These training sessions are customized to meet the individual needs and interests of the participant. I typically charge $50/1 hour or $75/2 hours for this service.

For more information or to contact me about making an appointment, visit my training page. I prefer to work exclusively in smoke free homes.

Experience

"I've officially worked in educational technology since 2006, but my volunteer experience dates back to my years as a high school student and before. In that time, I've coordinated the technology for a brand-new, technology-rich school; taught technology classes to students; conducted workshops for educators through Leon County Schools, educational technology companies, and the Florida Educational Technology Conference; and supported teachers from elementary to high school. I sometimes apply my experience in the schools to one-on-one computer training for digital immigrants.

Education

"My education has prepared me well for the instructional technology field. As a student at Chiles High School, I spent time outside of class helping teachers utilize computers and other technology. My senior year, I completed two externships in the technology and instructional technology fields. I graduated as a National Merit Scholar in 2006 and attended The Florida State University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Information Technology in three years.
