My semi-professional and entirely too personal portfolio
Welcome. This website is about me, Theodore J. Kopcha. Actually, I prefer to be called TJ instead of Theodore -- it’s a family tradition that just seemed to stick.
Who am I? Like most technology ‘mavens’ these days, I sought out Google. Yes, I Google-ed myself (I highly recommend this self-gratifying act, no matter how humbling it may be). Here’s what I found out:
- Education World rated my website on designing lessons for ELL students an A+! It has great SIOP resources and ELL lesson plans and ideas. Check it out!
- I worked at Smith Middle School in Glastonbury, CT where I made computers a core part of the curriculum
- I won a Sliffe award for distinguished teaching in junior high mathematics (Cool!)
- I have a Ph.D. and work as an assistant professor at SDSU
- My travel plans for AECT in Chicago several years ago are all over ASU Blogger
- I wrote some papers about technology and change
- There is a pathetically sad and small amount of hits for someone with such a high opinion of himself
There you have it. If you don’t believe me, feel free to Google Search my name for yourself. Otherwise you can visit the rest of this site and learn more about my professional and personal interests. (I recommend the latter. Really, who has the time to Google all day?)
