Introduction:

My name is Andy Moore. I am a professional educator and more maybe importantly, a professional learner.

I started my career as a 3rd teacher in 1993, one of the most exciting times in education. Personal computers had just started to reach the classroom in widespread fashion and the internet was emerging into the World Wide Web.

It became my passion to look for ways in which technology was adding value to learning. After 4 years in the self-contained classroom, I moved in to a professional development role helping teachers use technology to enhance curriculum, while also helping the technology department in implementation and support.

I continued in this role for 15 years, working with teachers from our local district and from around the state of Ohio. I have taught many college courses in the educational technology field and annually run the Central Ohio Technology Summit which had hosted as many a 300 teachers for a day long, open knowledge workshop sharing ideas and strategies for utilizing technology to enhance curriculum.

Last year, I moved back into the 6th grade science classroom to “test” the theories and practices that I have touted in my professional development role.

I am extremely excited to take the deep dive into the FAB Lab idea and philosophy. My expertise over the last 15 years have been specifically tailored to the software realm. Combining software with fabrication tools will undoubtedly open up many enhanced learning opportunities for myself and my younger learners.
