Earl+Yager

Welcome to PLP El Paso. I am Earl Yager, Instructional Technology Specialist for the Andress feeder pattern. I have been in education for about seven years. I first taught middle school math (7th and 8th grade) before taking the position of Technical Site Coordinator, which has been renamed to Instructional Technology Specialist. Prior coming to work for EPISD I worked for IBM for three years in Rochester, MN. I was born and raised right here in El Paso, and I actually attended schools in the feeder pattern that I server, Fannin, Bradley, Charles, and Andress. I am a UTEP graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science. I love working with my teachers and presenting new material to them and providing them an opportunity to expand their technology knowledge.

I am looking forward to this opportunity as, while I am very much a technophile and technology literate, I have yet to dive into the social networking technologies and to make the most of them for me. I have seen examples of the potential for their use both in individuals that have come in from out of town to talk to us about their benefits as well as within my own department. I aspire to make use of these technologies to both be a model for my teachers and to be aware and literate in the methods of communication of this era.
