Tynker ISTE Focus Group

David Lockhart is a little bit of everything. He is a teacher, coach, presenter, maker, and a whole host of other things that all have one goal in mind. Make the classroom different. He did it in his own classroom by bringing a historical news room concept to high school social studies, he did it as a coach and maker with the KSU iTeach team, and now he does it with coding as a member of the team at Tynker. Classroom’s need a change, and David’s mission is to bring it.
