Course Guest: Sean Arnold

On November 14, 2018 my (graduate level) course titled Integrating Technology (for School Technology Leaders) was visited by a guest, Mr. Sean Arnold. Mr. Arnold is a STEM Coach who works with a large number of teachers in the New York City Department of Education’s District 75 (Special Education Division), supporting them in adopting a wide variety of digital, instructional resources, and applying them appropriately and insightfully in their work with their students.
