Hello, my name is Al Beamon. I am currently a Technology Resource Teacher 1 at James Hurst Elementary School. This is my 11th year in the education field and my first year in Technology. Over the course of those 11 years, I have experienced grades one through five. All of this was made possible after I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at Norfolk State University in 1996.
