Welcome to Mr. Yerger's Computer Website

Being a computer technology educator lends itself to many responsibilities besides those that accompany every professional that stands in a classroom.  It is my duty to equip students with the necessary skills and aptitudes that can cross traditional educational lines.  I sincerely believe that tech savvy students can enhance their education tenfold by being able to use technology to supplement traditional educational practices.

Classroom Teaching Philosophy:  The educational goals that I set for my students include teaching them how to better use technology in their daily life, learn how to be a safe and responsible digital citizens online, and begin investigating into their future with researching information about college & career goals.  An additional goal for all students who leave my classroom is that they will be able to create future assignments in any classroom integrating technology with minimal frustration after learning how to use the available computer technology and educational resources through this course.  I want all my students to be prepared to tackle the educational technology challenges that they will most likely face in our ever-changing world!

'We imagine a school in which students and teachers excitedly and joyfully stretch themselves to their limits in pursuit of projects built on their vision...not one that succeeds in making apathetic students satisfy minimal standards.'
