- About Me:
- I am retired from the USAF and have been teaching 11 years. I teach at South Brunswick High School in Southport, NC. My husband, Howie, is also retired from the USAF and manages Brunswick County Airport. We have one son, Adam, 15, who goes to school with me (or is it the other way around?) every morning. I'm always curious about ALL new and emerging technologies and buy them when I can afford them. I have lots and lots of gadgets that I keep in my classroom, including puzzles which really aid students' learning to focus.
