🧔 About me

With over 30 years of experience, Eric works as an EdTech Specialist in Ohio, and provides training to schools and organizations around the world. He shares all his EdTech resources for AI, Google tools, accessibility, and more on his websites at ControlAltAchieve.com and EduGems.ai

Eric started off in education in 1992 as a math teacher at North Canton Middle School in Ohio. After teaching middle school math for seven years, Eric transitioned to a new position in North Canton City Schools as the district Technology Integration Specialist, where he served for the next fourteen years. In this role he supported teachers in how to integrate technology into teaching and learning, as well as overseeing technology initiatives across the district. During this time, Eric implemented Google Workspace for Education for his district, and became a Google for Education Certified Trainer and Google for Education Certified Innovator.

After twenty-one years at North Canton City Schools, Eric moved to a new position at SPARCC (the Stark Portage Area Computer Consortium) and the Stark County Educational Service Center. This regional service center supports more than thirty school districts in Northeast Ohio. In this role as a Technology Integration Specialist, Eric continues to support teachers in using technology for teaching and learning. This includes implementation, training, and support for Google Workspace for Education tools for all of the schools in the consortium, as well as other technology initiatives. 

In addition to being a Google Certified Trainer and Innovator, Eric also serves as the co-leader for GEG-Ohio, the Google Educator Group of Ohio. This includes hosting a monthly online meeting covering everything new in Google Workspace from the last month, as well as resources and best practices for using Google tools in schools. All of the GEG-Ohio resources and meeting details can be found at bit.ly/gegohio

For many years Eric has been sharing all of his technology resources on Control Alt Achieve, his award-winning blog at www.ControlAltAchieve.com. The site includes hundreds of blog posts, as well as training videos, help guides, templates, podcast episodes, and more. All of the resources are entirely free, and focus on creative ways for educators to use technology in the classroom for student learning, creativity, collaboration, and more, with a focus on artificial intelligence, Google tools, assistive technology, and more. Many of these resources are compiled in Eric’s first book called “Control Alt Achieve: Rebooting Your Classroom with Creative Google Projects” from Dave Burgess Press.

In addition to sharing resources through his blog, Eric has traveled the country for more than twenty years providing training, keynotes, and consulting. He has provided training for school districts around the world, as well as keynotes and conference sessions at events including ISTE, FETC, TCEA, OETC, and many more.

Outside of educational technology, Eric spends his time with his wife and two beautiful grandchildren, as well as hiking, biking, tabletop gaming, cooking, and writing.
