Hey All, I am Andrés, the Director of Innovation and Technology at Park Maitland School in Orlando, FL. I was previously a Math teacher before transitioning into my current role. I like to make, create, and tinker using many different mediums, and thus love infusing making and design thinking into any curriculum. I grew up playing sports and video games and also developed an interest for all things techie. Naturally, based on my passions, I gravitate and work to bring things like gamification, maker spaces, and EdTech into my teaching practices and champion them within my schools. I love how education provides all community members involved (teachers, students, and families) the opportunity to pursue and exercise their passions!

Social Studies teacher. I want to help students learn and apply class content and skills with real life scenarios.

I have had students work together and create presentations to the class to practice persuasive speaking skills. I've had them
assume roles as "team" investigators/evaluators of historical information and then present original/creative presentations to the class.
