Mrs. Glenn Liberty Middle School 7th /8th Grade – Project Lead the Way Computer Science 1 Liberty Middle School 2016-2017

Am I in the right Room? My room is Room #119, downstairs ORANGE (elective) Pod Treat the room, tables, chairs, technology devices and all contents with respect. Respecting the room means cleaning up after yourself, taking care of the contents of the room, and using the chairs, tables, and equipment in the proper way.

Who is this teacher? I teach the 7th and 8th grade PLTW/Computer Science 1 & 2 class, Yearbook/Digital Photography, and a Digital Publishing Tools class this year. I graduated from Auburn University ~ War Eagle! I am married and have 2 sons, one in college and another in middle school! I love technology and learning. In my opinion, Technology & Computer Science is so important, because 99% of all students will work one day. Students will use the skills learned in this class for the rest of their lives . . . REALLY!
