"I am grateful for the assistance I receive from our CTC! She is extremely

helpful to our students, our faculty, and our administrators with

technology challenges and teaches all of us (teachers and students alike)

how to use certain programs and new equipment. She is a great problem

solver!" Lake Pointe Elementary School

"I really appreciate the way you are always so eager to meet any request I

have when trying to integrate technology in my classroom. I can't ever

remember a time when I have asked you about something that you didn't give

me your undivided attention (and usually action was taken shortly

after)." Lake Pointe Elementary School

"Miriam is a very smart technology teacher and user. Her patience is

unbounded. Highly recommended! LKS"
