Hi, I'm Lincoln and I have been in working for Pulaski Co since 1999. I started off as a para educator at Pulaski Co. High School, then became a special education teacher at Dublin Middle. After teaching SPED for 2 years I became a 7th grade history teacher at Pulaski Middle School where I taught for 6 years. In that time I participated in Pearson's iLearn project where my class was given an iPad cart to test out history textbooks and apps. As a part of iLearn I was able to get my masters degree from Radford University in Educational Technology. Upon completing my degree I was hired as an ITRT for grades 6-12 in Pulaski Co. I now work as the Director of Technology for PCPS.
