 * My name is Robert Penrose and I have been working in educational technology for over three years now. Just like you I often feel that what is expected is enormous, but I have learned a few things along the way. Working in this field has taught me the unlimited potential of what technology can offer learning. Every day new methods are being discovered and new devices are being invented. The drive to incorporate all of this into education is accelerating. The rewards of this are the ability to teach concepts with greater ease, freeing time for higher order thinking activities and learning.

It is my hope that together we can improve our teaching in small ways every day. This training will be the first step towards building an effective team to manage [|Wildwood Schools]' technology assets and to demonstrate to our collegues what direction they can take in their teaching. I look forward to working with all of you and I wish you the best on the journey ahead of you.
