FBS Techno-style!

Technology is an important teaching tool in schools. Through technology, teachers have a much wider spectrum of resources available to teach students who may otherwise have trouble learning. Throughout Faith's history, there have been at least three influential individuals who brought new technological advancements to the school. Those three persons are Mr. Chris Van Buskirk, Pastor Tim Binkley, and Mr. Mark Zockoll.
Chris Van Buskirk began teaching in February 2000, and to the realm of Room 1, he brought some new technology. Affectionately known as "Mr. V," he was responsible for not only the whiteboard, but also the projector, costing at that time a cool $1000. Soon after resigning his post as a secondary history professor, he donated a dozen laptops for the school to use for various classes.
Almost a decade ago, Pastor Tim Binkley started teaching here at FBS. He was responsible for installing the projector and the DMX lighting into the auditorium. Currently he maintains the school's WiFi network, has a hand in the church and school's websites, and troubleshoots the various computers and networking issues the technology presents.
Mark Zockoll, though being the newest and youngest teacher here at Faith, has done a lot already to bring FBS into a more mainstream technological stance. Besides creating and regularly updating the school's first Facebook and Twitter pages, he encouraged the high school English class, as well as the rest of his classes, to safely, but effectively, start their own blogs and modeled this by the debut of this, the Falcon English blog.
Mr. Dan Hall, the Faith Baptist Church treasurer and father of Bethany Hall, a 7th grader here at FBS, should also be noted for recently donating over fifteen Dell laptops to the school. These are now being used for yearbook, classroom research, and other daily activities!
All in all, technology is important Consider this a list of the past, present, and the future of the advances of Faith Baptist School.
