My name is Marc Roland. I was hired by Kelso in 1995 as a long-term substitute teacher at Catlin Elementary School. It was a class from hell! For some reason, I succeeded after three other subs burned out. I think that was the reason I was offered a job helping with the newly created alternative program (ALO). This program started at the middle schools and then moved to Kelso High as a evening program and eventually settled off campus at St. Mary's. From there, it was off to lock up at the detention school where it seems like I have a life sentence.I have always loved gadgets and technology. I currently do the tech stuff at juvie and I was a part of the revision of our district technology plan. professionally, I am writing my dissertation for a MA in education technology. I will be traveling to Alaska in June to graduate and take a multimedia class. Future plans include getting a administration credential and becoming a technology integration specialist. I'm passionate about the possibilities of E-learning and the power of the internet.
