“The capability to learn is inherent in all of us. The only variable, then, is our own desire to learn.” ~ Sam Pabon Sam Pabon has an extensive background as an IT Professional with specific experience as a Security Administrator, Engineer, and Cyber Threat Analyst. Sam recently decided to transition into the education arena, and is pursuing a Master’s in Educational & Instructional Technology from National University. Sam’s Philosophy of Education As educators we should help facilitate goals and help cast a vision for students that will, not only, stretch their imaginations, but also their beliefs regarding what is possible. In order to accomplish this, we need to become and remain culturally aware regarding the diverse student populations we will interact with on our chosen playing field. We are not just “teachers”, we are “coaches”: disciplining, guiding, mentoring, encouraging, motivating. In the end, technology is something that should be embraced and respected, but not feared.Tumblr (3.0; @sampabon)http://sampabon.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/05181cc6e09fc786b6123f47a3661756/tumblr_mn72qca4n91qjs5zlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#ThoughtProcess | #Truth</p>http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/51060858973http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/51060858973Wed, 22 May 2013 06:06:12 -0400thoughtprocesstruth<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/be4cb1bcbfc622c7a79edfd139c502e2/tumblr_mn1s7laqPc1qjs5zlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#ELCHS | #ClassOf2013 | #Graduation | #EastLeeCounty | #MyWish | #TracyFisherQuote | @angiepabon | @jared_jjp</p>http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50817725804http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50817725804Sun, 19 May 2013 09:30:57 -0400eastleecountymywishgraduationtracyfisherquoteelchsclassof2013<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/29a82cadbba3e6accb52d722633a3741/tumblr_mn0q60x19c1qjs5zlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Part of #Dinner … First time using #GreenPepper slice 😋👍🍳🍴🍚</p>http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50768700775http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50768700775Sat, 18 May 2013 19:49:12 -0400dinnergreenpepper<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a371a787f0344a368de76019ee8e0613/tumblr_mmwwrj1eqw1qjs5zlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>… And, they’re out … No shade for the #Advanced #Symphonic #Band | #VPAA</p>http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50605630807http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50605630807Thu, 16 May 2013 18:21:18 -0400vpaabandsymphonicadvanced<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b1634f4bfde11c76abdf12c4b43fcbe0/tumblr_mmww6oT4Ik1qjs5zlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Jeilah’s #Outdoor #Band #Concert getting ready to start at #VeteransParkAcademyOfTheArts | #VPAA | #HOT | #SWFL | #Sweating</p>http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50604740237http://sampabon.tumblr.com/post/50604740237Thu, 16 May 2013 18:08:48 -0400vpaasweatingoutdoorconcertswflbandhotveteransparkacademyofthearts<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/75aa701d3e3ecc9d326d9aa8e06fe7c7/tumblr_mmvcnbqZwm1qjs5zlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.
