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.
