I use this blog to explore and record innovative uses of technology in the classroom, tools & resources I encounter, and relative news and events. This blog is a place for reflecting on the successes and the lessons learned about technology integration into the classroom.

Currently, I am the Director of Instructional Technology at the Boston Renaissance Charter Public School, a K-6 school located in downtown Boston. http://www.bostonrenaissance.org

I teach media and work-force IT skills to middle, high school and community college students, and support teachers in integrating technology into their classrooms. See education.lkrdesign.com for a portfolio of my publications and projects as a licensed IT specialist through Harvard University’s Educational Technology Licensure program. This blog features project highlights, conversations heard in the classroom, pictures from daily lessons, and reflections on any professional development that I experience and provide.

I am also a freelance media maker and founder of LKR design. So I will also post here about recent clients, updates about projects, and tech-related “stuff” that I think is useful, interesting, or just plain fun. You may also see posts that seem out of context, but in fact these are tagged “just testing.” I am a programmer at heart, so I consider this blog to be a personal training ground as well as an informative journal, where I can troubleshoot and talk about new ideas or tools.

Enjoy! And feel free to comment or contact me directly.
