===I believe education involves the acquisition of factual knowledge and transforming this knowledge into applicable uses. The importance of education lies not only on how much is learned but on a child's ability to process, analyze and synthesize the information he/she has learned. === ===As an educator I must emphasize the elements of technology and basic life skills. My challenge is to develop critical thinkers with our new digital learners. === ===I hail from the Nation's Capitol, Washington, DC. I Attended[| Elizabeth City State University]in Elizabeth City, NC and obtained a bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology with Electronics in 1989. I obtained a master's degree in education, curriculum & instruction from the University of Phoenix in 2008. === ===My teaching experience includes elementary and secondary schools for 10+ years in the US and abroad. I am married to Rossie and we have three children, Brandon, Andrea, and Alexandria. When I have free time I enjoy traveling, listening to christian, jazz, and classical music. My favorite color is pink. I also enjoy working out and reading.media type="file" key="sugar-plum-fairy.mp3" width="240" height="20" ===
