Hi, my name is Dick Oostenink. I will be the instructor for this class. For the past 9 years I have worked for the Van Andel Education Institute studying and experimenting about how Instructional Technology may be used effectively to enrich teaching and learning. When this week of classes is over my work and the Van Andel Institute will end. After a relaxing summer I will start work again at the same school system where I started teaching almost 40 years ago. I look forward to working with you.
Hello :
My name is Bill Brown, and I teach Adapted Physical Education and swimming, at Ken-O-Sha Elementary. I also teach the special needs students at Alger Middle, and the Ottawa High School special students. I co-teach with a regular ed. P.E. teacher two days per week. I have been at KOS. for the past seven years, and with the district since 1983.
i am a 2nd grade teacher at Palmer School. We were recently renovated and now have lots of wonderful technology!! My summer will be spent taking 3 classes, playing and working at the lake, getting things done and missing my son who's going to Italy for 6 weeks.
My name is Nancy Banks.I currently teach a community based training class. My students are 17-24. We work at various businesses around the west side that allow us to train my students on job skills. We also do a lot of class work using functional academics. My students are cognitively impaired. I hope to have a few computers in my class next year so we can look for jobs online and help my students become more familiar with computers. I plan on taking a few more classes this summer, going to Texas and just relaxing.
My name is Dori DeVuyst. I have been the art teacher at Aberdeen and Stocking for the past two years. I am in the process of getting my Master's Degree in Integrating Technology into the Classroom through Walden University. My technology experience is average, I have an Associates degree in Graphic Design and use the computer on a regular basis for classes and personal use. I hope to find new and interesting ways to teach art so the students stay interested. My plans for the summer are to relax, take many trips, and spend time at home with my pets.
My name is John Lofquist. I am a teacher at Lincoln Developmental Center, a GRPS school. I Work with students that are SXI. I took this class to get the 1 credit from GVSU. I hope to start building a house this summer.

Hello, my name is Sung Pak. I taught kindergarden at SWCC for half a year. I had a wonderful time with them. For the next school year, I will be teaching fifth grade at SWCC. I will be spending my summer working on learning Spanish and Chinese.
My name is Louise Schoen. I teach 4th grade at Covell Elementary. This is my 17th year with GRPS. I started at Buchanan, then East Leonard, then West Leonard, and I hope to stay at Covell until I retire. My youngest is starting WMU this fall, so I won't be retiring anytime soon. By the way, does anyone have a cheap, reliable car for sale so she can find a summer job? I will be busy getting my house ready to sell and plan to take a few day trips. I think this class is going to be fun!
Hello, My name is Mike Soltys. I have taught at KEC Mayfield for the past 8 years. KEC Mayfield is a self contained building for severly emotionally impaired middle school students from around Kent County. I have been using technology in the classroom as part of the FTL program the past three years. This summer I will be taking my kids to different ball camps, doing some golfing, camping, and a boat trip with friends. We will try to catch a Tigers game and Michigan Adventure. This class should be an adventure as well.
Hi,
My name is Bob Cheslek,and I teach Science at Harrison Middle, 8th grade. We are to recieve a new (as in, just completed construction)building, and it will have all of the newest technological devices and automation available.
