Hi! My name is Erin and I am a Certified K-8 teacher in Edmonds WA, just N of Seattle. I am born and raised in Seattle and attended Ballard High and University of WA! I took some years off to have kids who are now in Kindergarten and Fourth Grade. I currently am working this year as a Para educator at my kids school, supporting 5th and 6th graders in small groups and individually. I just renewed my Teaching Cert in Oct 2019, along w PGP requirements, and plan on teaching next school year. For the past 4 years I have been a substitute teacher, one month long assignment teaching 4th and have been an intermediate tutor for math and reading. Previously I taught 1st Grade and Kindergarten. I have worked with ELL, homeless, and highly capable learners and am interested to see how to apply Code to each and every group and individual!
My ten year old daughter has used Code.org for years at her school. Last school year, her teacher had them program Obots as a fun STEM activity. Both my kids love rockets and space, science and programming, math and building things. So, beyond this and science kits through school, I am new to Coding. I am 36, so this was not taught in my personal schooling as a kid.
I love World Class Chocolate (Baskin Robbins) but anything with Caramel, Mint, Oats, Cinnamon is loved by me.

I am interested in being a part of the code.org community because with the rapid expansion of technology, I think it is important to introduce students as early as possible to computer science. I look forward to learning and sharing ideas from this forum.
Hi there! My name is Maryjo Green. I live (and work) in the Edmonds School District in Edmonds, WA. I currently am a K-6 Substitute Teacher, but most recently had a long-term substitute position in 1st Grade, so that’s the grade I’ll use for the purposes of this training. 
I got my Master’s in Teaching in Technology…many, many years ago. This is my entry into learning what I feel are some very important skills in today’s classrooms and I hope to be able to apply what I learn here in my own classroom soon!
Hello everyone,
My name is Marcos Alba and I am a Special Education teacher in LAUSD, California. I work with students with moderate-to-severe disabilities and I have been teaching for the past 6 years at the same school site. The Computer Science Fundamentals course has been very fun and I can’t wait to start exploring a new course with my students as lead learner. The concept of being a lead learner is like a load off of my shoulders because this role allows me to learn along with my students and not have to be an expert in computer science. I have a fun journey ahead!
