About SqoolTechs, LLC
SqoolTechs, LLC was founded by a group of educators consisting of
Diana Dell, Kevin McCarthy, and Vince Szewczyk. SqoolTechs, LLC is an
educational technology consulting company whose mission is
“Supporting Quality Online Opportunities for
Learning.” In pursuit of this mission, SqoolTechs, LLC
offers a wide variety of services to K-12 districts, schools, teachers,
and home schooling families and organizations.
Diana and Vince were formerly employed at a Missouri school district
where Vince served as the District Technology Director for 8 years and
Diana served as the District Instructional Technology Specialist for 3
years. Kevin, a technology consultant, worked with Vince for 3 years,
one or two days a week assisting with whatever the needs of the moment
happened to be.
During the 3 years Vince and Diana worked together, they discovered
that their individual strengths and talents supported each others, and
that their visions for the use of technology as an instructional tool
were very much the same. Together they guided the revision of the
district's technology plan, developed and delivered professional
development opportunities, and wrote Title II-D grants which
received approval by the Missouri Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education. The district was immersed in the eMINTS program at
the elementary level where 12 classrooms were implementing the eMINTS
model of instruction. The Title II-D grant expanded the eMINTS program
into the district's middle school. Together Vince and Diana spent
countless hours both during the school day and after hours planning and
working on these and other projects, yet through it all, they were able
to laugh and have fun.
In the spring of 2007, Diana decided it was time to retire from public
education and Vince was ready for a change. Together they started
brainstorming how they could continue to work together to benefit the
education of students and improve the quality of online instruction at
the K-12 level. SqoolTechs, LLC was formed and the idea for SqoolTools
soon followed. Vince and Diana quickly understood that Kevin's
expertise in web technology was needed to make SqoolTools a reality and
they persuaded Kevin to join the SqoolTechs Team.
