My Why:

My son is a bright, crazy energetic, curious,question asking, WHY asking, 9 1/2 yr old. I know that he can do great things! I wanted to become an IFT (old TRT) to help teachers become someone who he can ask questions to, dig deeper with, and utilize various technologies to accomplish that.
