Meet the SqoolTechs Team
HomeSqool is
brought to you by the SqoolTechs
Team, a group of educators consisting of Diana Dell, Kevin
McCarthy, and Vince Szewczyk.
Diana
and Vince were formerly employed at a Missouri school district where
Vince served as the district Technology Director for 8 years and Diana
served as the district Instructional Technology Specialist for 3
years. Kevin, a technology consultant, worked with Vince for
3 years, one to two days a week assisting with whatever the needs of
the moment happened to be.
During
the 3 years Vince and Diana worked together, they discovered that their
individual strengths and talents supported each others, and that their
visions for the use of technology as an instructional tool were very
much the same. Together they guided the revision of the
district's Technology Plan, developed and delivered professional
development opportunities, and wrote a Title II-D grants which received
approval by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education. The district was immersed in the eMINTS program at
the elementary level where 12 classrooms were implementing the eMINTS
model of instruction. The Title II-D grant expanded the
eMINTS program into the district's middle school. Together
Vince and Diana spent countless hours both during the school day and
after hours planning and working on these and other projects, yet
through it all, they were able to laugh and have fun.
In
the spring of 2007,
Diana decided it was time to retire from public education and Vince was
ready for a change. Together they started brainstorming how
they
could continue to work together to benefit the education of students
and improve the quality of online instruction at the K-12
level. SqoolTechs,
LLC was formed and the idea for HomeSqool soon
followed. Vince and Diana quickly understood that Kevin's
expertise in web technology was needed to make HomeSqool a
reality
and they persuaded Kevin to join the SqoolTechs Team.
