Developing 21st Century Learners with Technology-Rich Lessons (FETC 2011)

David Schubert worked as my Assistant in the Technology Department at Lawton Chiles High for two years, September 2006 to June 2008. He brought a large skill set to the job. What impressed me most about David was his character as a person. He proved to have a high level of integrity and trustworthiness. He could be trusted with access to sensitive information and was very receptive to learning how institutional systems function and inter-personal dynamics.

David will be a fantastic resource for any IT company where he lands, but will be exceptional in an educational institution with his experience in the public school environment and his understanding of how those institutions work.

I have had the pleasure of working with David in two of my classes. His evident competency in various areas of information technology (including information architecture, network administration, and instructional technology support) is a result of his dedication and enthusiastic attention to his coursework as well as diligence in seeking extracurricular and professional opportunities outside of the classroom. As a student, he has distinguished himself by engaging fully in all classroom activities, being open to learning and constructive feedback, and putting a stamp of excellence on all his projects. I am confident that David will be a wonderful asset to any organization he will dedicate his services to after he completes his studies at the University.

It is my pleasure to "brag" about David Schubert. David worked as part of our Technology support staff at Chiles during the 2007-2008 school year and was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge is incredible, his demeanor is very upbeat and supportive, and his ability to help individuals understand what he is doing and to help them be able to help themselves is amazing. David has a tremendously bright future ahead of himself and, in my opinion, will make some company very fortunate to have him as an employee.

David Schubert was a member of the Honors section of Fundamentals of Speech. His work was exemplary.... and he was the resident guru to whom we addressed all questions of a technological nature. David is quick witted, humble, smart, caring, and responsible. I wish all students at Florida State had his sense of maturity and a commitment to things greater than himself.

I've known David in three different capacities: As a student in two of the courses I teach, as our school's Technology Assistant, and as an FSU student who continues to assist teachers at Chiles - for no remuneration.

Of the many students I've taught in 30+ years in the classroom, David is without a doubt one of the brightest, most hard working, and caring students I've ever known - to both teachers and students alike. Those traits are coupled with a natural ability to understand technology and even more importantly, to communicate to others how to learn and utilize that technology. Of the many technology training sessions I've attended, those in which David was the instructor were by far the most effective and most easily understood--because he is a natural teacher. Any business would be extremely fortunate to have David working with them. I have never seen his equal - both in his personal qualities and in his technical skills as well.
