I grew up in Swaziland, Southern Africa. I attended college in the USA and taught 5th and 8th grade for five years. Now I am an Instructional Technology Resource teacher and help teachers learn how to integrate technology into the classroom. My main love is the Smartboard which I troubleshoot and instruct with. I am always looking to see what new concepts teachers come up with on how to use the Smartboard Notebook software.

Hi Obe,

 I am doing very well.  i just got back from Sacramento where I handled the video and audio chores for the celebration of the 5 new California Teachers of the Year.  Let me know when they finally get around to awarding this to you in your state.  It should only be a matter of time.  You are already a true star.  

 

I have seen the new board and I want one.  I sent an off color letter to Kimberly and Stephen saying how much I want one.  No real response so far.  We applied to be a smart showcase school but have yet to hear an answer.  I think we will be traveling all summer this year in utah etc.  By the way if the revolution's bday was the 11th that is also my bday.  I turned 52 and hit my 1000 mile on my mountain bike for the year!

Thanks Obe - I really enjoyed your Smart presentation at VSTE and was glad to find out about Smart Revolution.  I took over Kathy Parrish's TRT position at Rockhill in Stafford County and believe I met you at VSTE with Kathy when we presented two years ago.  I love Smartboard!

Thanks Obe - I've been perusing The Smart Exchange for some time but am now finally joining. We just received 10 new boards at my school so I want to have this as an on-going resource. I've been using Rockingham's site since I came on board as a TIS last January. Your website is so organized and well done. Thanks for sharing all your hard work.

Hi Obe! I joined the Ning group, and am excited to learn lots of new things! I joined the art teacher group too. Can't wait for you to visit our class! Is this site open to preservice teachers?

Thanks! I have joined that group and hope to find lots of resources! I am new to 2nd but have experience with the board and teaching 3rd. I am also my school's Smartboard contact, so this site will hopefully help me in that way as well!
