Carl Arko

This is Carl coming in from Hancock, MI (located on the finger reaching into Lake Superior) in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Currently, I am teaching fifth grade in a the largest (and most northern) school district in the area. It is my first year teaching at this grade level after earning my degree from Michigan’s most northern, private university that was founded in 1896 by Finnish immigrants. In addition to teaching, I just completed my eleventh season as the varsity golf coach in the same school district.

Before becoming a teacher, technology has always been an interest/hobby. Whether stereo equipment, gaming, or education, I have always enjoyed the opportunity to learn new technology and this was no different as a teacher.
