Where did you attend school and what degree do you have?<br />
Mr. Escarra: I attended The United States Coast Guard Academy and Edison State<br />
College and have a degree in Secondary Math Education.<br />
How long have you taught at <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Myers</strong> <strong>High</strong> School?<br />
Mr. Escarra: This is my second year teaching at FMHS.<br />
Caline McCarthy<br />
& Kyle Miller<br />
Besides teaching students, what do you like to do outside of school?<br />
Mr. Escarra: I like to run, go to the beach, and go boating. My father is a fishing<br />
guide on Marco Island, so I was raised on the water. I enjoy anything on the water.<br />
We have heard that you were one of the first teachers to get a SmartBoard,<br />
what do you think about it?<br />
Mr. Escarra: Being a recent graduate from college I had experience with the Smart-<br />
Board before teaching at FMHS. At its most basic level, the beauty of a SmartBoard<br />
is that it is an infinite white board. I never have to worry about running out of<br />
space or erasing a problem and not being able to get it back. However, the application<br />
of it should not end there. By having the ability to be connected to the<br />
computer and Internet, I can use any source, example, song, or picture of my cute<br />
puggle puppy to help drive home a lesson or just to get a laugh. For the first time,<br />
we can truly integrate the power of computers directly into lessons. Just as being<br />
connected to a computer has revolutionized the cell phone, I truly believe the<br />
SmartBoard will help revolutionize education in our country.<br />
