Brad Fountain began his educational career as teacher in a grades 3-5
multi-age classroom in rural North Carolina. Having spent the previous 15+
years working with technology on his own time, he quickly began finding
ways to implement his technology skills into classroom instruction. He
participated in many of the first internet classroom projects including the
first MayaQuest online adventure. After spending six years as a classroom
teacher he moved on to become the lead technology facilitator for a rural
school along the coast of North Carolina. There he provided staff
development to teachers across the county on technology integration and
helped to author one of the first technology assessment programs for
teachers in the state of North Carolina. He moved to Pathways Elementary
School in Orange County, North Carolina, where he served as an
administrator of the North Carolina Model Technology School for 2003. Brad
joined Discovery in 2005 as a Field Manager and now serves as the Discovery
Educator Network Account Manager for the Midwest and South Regions.
Brad has presented as NECC, NCAECT, NSTA, NCETC, NCAECT, SC EdTech., and
the DEN National Institutes. He has also provided leadership training for
school system administrators, professional development on technology
integration, and hosted the DEN podcast. Brad currently lives in Raleigh,
