Someone said that the moment you stop learning is the moment you die. As a self pro-claimed, 'Proud Teacher & Learning Advocate,' Therefore, I must be pretty good at living. Beyond the realm of philosophy, I was raised in the San Francisco and the Silicon Valley. Education drives my passions, and I have been trying to capture the spirit of my innovative learning environment.For the last few years I have taught students with a birds eye view. I watch these young students who are still within my generation, but they learn with the same technologies that were just sprouting up when I was in school.I decided to document the spirit of innovative learning, and give teachers the tools to do so as well. Currently, I am wrapping up these thoughts in a Field Project that is the last component for the fulfillment of Master's in Teaching.As for me, I am a avid smiler. I walk into situations with mindful optimism--chin up, and looking forward. I use this method to combat, what would seem to be, a penchant for worry and concern. I model to look forwards when aiming to progress. In theory, the end result is moving towards the right direction. Of course, in my spare time, I am guilty of moping, being serious, and shuffling my feet.Jokes aside, I’m working on the anti-dote to educational and social woes one smile at a time, and hope that the rest will fall into place along the way.
