Welcome!

Technology is integrated into the classroom curriculum:

  1. •To encourage students to ask meaningful questions.

  2. •To develop critical thinking skills.

  3. •To communicate and collaborate with others so that...



They become...

and responsible citizens of our global community.

Students in grades Kindergarten through third grade come to the computer lab once a week to learn:


Word Processing, Collecting, Displaying and Interpreting data, keyboarding, using the Internet, Internet Manners, Cyber Safety


And as an extension of their regular classroom lessons...


Students work independently and in small groups to create projects to enhance their classroom learning experiences.

About Me

I am the technology teacher at Grandview School in North Caldwell.


I graduated William Paterson University with an undergraduate degree in Special Education and Elementary Education, and have also earned a gradutate degree in learning technologies.


I love to sail, and enjoy playing Nintendo, especially adventure games like Zelda and Mario. I love to read, and science fiction and fantasy are my favorite genres. My hobby is astronomy. I have a reflector telescope that I take into my backyard every chance I get to view the moon, planets and stars.


I hope this website will become a resource for students, parents and teachers alike.
