About Me
I am a retired Coast Guard Warrant Officer (1996) and have dedicated my life since then to working with kids, I am a Special Education teacher who teaches English and co-teaches History at a small private school that serves students who have not been successful in the public school system. During this school year, I found that I was not reaching my students as well as I should and wanted to make things better for them, so I started looking into "stuff" I could do to help them more and found Web2.0 and the technology coordinator at school (I believe he is getting tired of seeing me come around :) but I am becoming a convert and what totally convinced me was the excitement I saw in an 18 year old student who said "Mr. Shaw I've never sent an Email before, this is so cool." So I believe that I am headed in the right direction after this "aha" moment. Oh yeah some of the things I like to do outside of school are run/jog (getting older, I am not as fast as I used to be), day hike, just hang out with my Wife Mary, our six cats, and a dog.

    Hi Harold. I was wondering if you and your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
