Larry Shaltis - Network Administrator, Grass Lake School District
Larry's calling to be an educator came to him relatively early in life. "I wanted to become a teacher when I was still in high school, " he says. "Science has always fascinated me, especially as a way to try to understand the wonders of the world in which we live. I enjoyed working with youth and trying to help them to appreciate the joy of being able to predict or understand our world."
Larry believes that his Physics background has helped him in his career, both as an educator and in his technological roles in the schools. He says, "I think the study of physics has helped me most in the development of my ability to research and solve problems. Technology has radically changed since I was attending college...My computer knowledge is self-taught with the aid of books and friends. I credit the thinking skills honed by the study of physics for enabling me to be successful in learning the skills needed."
