James Puliatte teaches business classes at Fort Lee High School in New Jersey. He’s quick to point out he is under the age of 30 and cringes when someone calls him “sir.” He has developed a reputation on campus as the resident tech expert and contributes to the school’s modern methods for educating teenagers. FLHS experienced some budget woes and cutbacks in the recent past but the school was not deterred from its goal of integrating technology into its classrooms. Instead of dealing with the high cost of sending teachers to workshops to learn certain technology, the school named Puliatte its “tech staff developer” and gave him the responsibility to bring teachers up to speed on the usage of certain technology in an effort to modernize the school. “When I tell people my title I get blank stares. So I just say that I teach teachers how to use technology.”
