My wife Rachel and I are both in education, and we make an amazing team. She is my daily inspiration for becoming a better husband, father and teacher.

Mr. HicksMy 13th year of teaching technology to middle school students promises to be the most challenging and rewarding year yet! Our "Exploring Multimedia" classes this year will produce multimedia projects suitable for a global audience. We have amazing open-source software available for students as well as the most current version of the industry-standard Adobe suite of software, which all DATA students have a license for.
We call our class DATAtech to represent all the different technologies we put into play in order to produce the digital and real-world products in our project-based learning environment. |
Who We Are |
The Design And Technology Academy is the premiere magnet program in the North East Independent School District, San Antonio. We have extended it from Roosevelt High School campus to the Ed White middle school campus so we are now a 6th-12th grade program.
|
Our Focus |
Each student receives two technology courses in addition to the core curriculum and a fine arts elective. Students in 6th grade's "Exploring Multimedia" class learn the Adobe CC suite of software as well as a number of open-source and web-based programs to do Android programming, 3D modelling, photo editing, multimedia presentations and animation.
