Hello my name is Todd Beard, and I have lived in Ann Arbor, Hartland, Grosse Pointe, Sault Ste. Marie, Grand Blanc, Quebec City, and Flint.  Education has been my inspiration, since birth curiosity has fueled my ambitions, and from there topics have sparked my interests. My focus in education is elementary math and language arts, because all other disciplines revolve around the function of relating numbers and words. My pedagogy is to promote continuous improvement, teamwork, and self discovery.  The following links are my resume and some of the work I've been doing in the field of Educational Technology.
