Matthew Christian is one of Clark County School District's premier Robotics teacher's. He has created the Greenspun Junior High School Robotics program from the ground up and coached his team to the state championship for three years straight. Mr. Christian makes connections with robotics teachers throughout the district and around the country. He states,"The more we connect with each other and share our ideas, the more we all succeed. I regularly invite teachers and other school’s teams to my site to learn about what we do and gain experience that we can then use to make our program better."

Passionate about teaching technology, Matthew believes the opportunity to have 1:1 Chromebooks on campus has helped to improve the implementation and outreach that his program has achieved. He states, "The 1:1 technology integration has strengthened our focus; making the Robotics experience so much richer for our students." In addition to the impact Chromebooks has had in the Robotics classroom, there has also been great affect on other groups on campus. Greenspun Junior High School has a large deaf population and the 1:1 Chromebook technology has made it much easier for all learners to be part of all classes. Now every student on campus is able to interact with each other the same way, with the same equipment, yet on a different level. Everyone is able to share their ideas in an open forum. Determined to reach all of his students, Mr. Christian creates multiple methods to interact. "Technology makes connecting with my students both inside the class and out so much easier and my students are able to interact with each other and share their knowledge."

Mr. Christian says, "Technology has helped me shape my class where my function is more of a project based facilitator and less of an instructor. I want my students to experience by doing and really engaging with their learning; technology gives me the tools to make that vision a reality."
