As a programmer, I love terse, simple things with lots of comments. I love it when it is what it says on the box. I enjoy making digital things which have a value that extends beyond a high score or an achievement, so educational software is a big interest of mine.As an educator for public schools and Outward Bound, I have seen that children need high-quality interactivity and a world to expand into, especially in the classroom. Tragically, classrooms are often small places surrounded by walls. Using my computer programming background and leveraging my years as a primary and secondary school educator, I can use the principals of learning found in video games to expand students' horizons.
