About Me
I teach Science at Orem Junior High School in Utah. I teach grades 7-9 at the school. I'm preparing to begin my 24th year in the profession. I am my school's science department chair (and have been for 10 years) and am also in my third year as the Alpine School District Science Specialist. I am the workshop facilitator and webmaster for Utah's Sci-ber Text project (an online textbook for science use in grades 3-9.)

I am bilingual on both Macintosh and Windows platforms. I am comfortable trouble shooting most programs or computer problems. I have great Internet access at both home and school. (Both are connected with fiber optic.)

I became a Master Teacher when Intel® Education arrived in Utah in 2001. My students enjoy doing projects that I design using what I have learned from the Intel® Teach Program. I am also an eMints teacher and have one computer for every two students in my classroom.

    Hi, Glen --

    Good talking with you on Classroom 2.0. I spent 2+ years in Utah for grad school at the U. LOVED it and hope to go back someday.

    Hi Glen. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. Perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
