I was a special education teacher for 12 years. I am currently a technology resource teacher for Alliance City Schools. I spend my days helping teachers and students incorporate technology into the classroom ( I LOVE technology). If my paycheck could be direct deposited into an Apple store I would be a happy camper &#8211; The only problem with that is I wouldn&#8217;t be able to pay my mortgage! I am married and we have a 2 year old son which does not stand in the way of my love of golf ( I play an average 100-150 rounds per year).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I plan on using Powtoon as my go-to presentation format. I have used Powtoon to do many trainings with teachers. I always have to start my presentations with something fun and I have found Powtoon to be very engaging with teachers and students.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jon made a &#8220;thank you&#8221; Powtoon after his win (below). You are very welcome Jon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tdHLPuzfz-g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And here is one last Powtoon we want to share.
