I'm one of the technology trainers for Educational
Technology in the Tucson Unified School
District. My official title is "Technology
Integration Specialist" and my role is to train teachers both in
software and ways to use hardware/software to enhance their teaching
activities.
I support technology use by teachers in TUSD's along with the
rest of the staff in the Educational
Technology Department. I'm an advocate of teacher choice
when it comes to technology -- whatever hardware and software is
cheapest, easiest, and most effective at improving teacher and
student performance. I happily support instruction using the oldest
Macintosh computers to the newest, as well as PC's running Windows
and Linux.
Some of the projects I work on include a "Faves
in Fives" website of top websites, working with our district Techs,
and other projects.
I formerly taught the Technology
Program at Magee
Middle School. For more, take a look at my Friendster
profile.
Telnet to the old Public
Education BBS
(telnet://bbs.chrisvandyke.com)
to experience a text-only BBS running on the Internet (back
online 9/6/02).
For a few years this BBS ran on a Macintosh LC II
at Magee Middle School and handled student Internet e-mail,
dialing on a phone line to exchange mail.

Also, here is my resume.
