Meet the SqoolTechs Team
SqoolTechs, LLC was
founded by a group of educators consisting of Diana Dell,
Kevin McCarthy, and Vince Szewczyk.
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.
