Topic 1: Get To Know You  My name is David Hartman, I teach Government and American History at Stow High School. I came late to education having spent 20 years in business before returning to Akron to get my education degree. Some friends and I took a trip to China to teach American culture to college students in 2002. When I returned to the United States I decided teaching is what I wanted to do and immediately quit my job and enrolled at the U of A. After high school I spent four years serving in the United States Marine Corps. Incorporating technology in the classroom is problematic because of the availability of resources. At times our internet is spotty and access to the library's computers is difficult. I use a smartboard and design all of my lessons and PowerPoints. I encourage my students to bring technology into the classroom and use it whenever possible. I look forward to getting to know some of you. = =
