Marty Daniel
I wear many hats. Most of my time is in the area of educational technology. I teach middle school technology at The Rice School and I also work with Houston area teachers who attend outreach programs provided by various programs thoughout the Houston area. This is very enriching, however, I also have a small technology consulting business where I develop and maintain web content for my clients. My business website is martyd.com.
