623.385.2419		"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." - Albert Einstein.

No matter if the technology is old or new, complicated or simple, there are fundamental reasons why we need it. Perhaps to communicate, to collaborate, to create or to innovate. Every day, both students and adult solve problems and make informative decisions. My role in Dysart to help you use technology for these very reasons.
