Who We Are

Meet Ms. Wood

the Computer Classroom

Our History

In seeking an innovative solution to the authentic problem of student motivation and work quality, the Computer Classroom evolved during graduate studies at Oklahoma State University.

– Alfred Mercier, 19th Century Creole writer and philosopher

Vision

We offer complete curriculum with narrative simulation to support teachers and their students in gaining their technology education. Contributing to the success of students is our privilege.

Hi! I'm Melanie Wood, main educator behind the Computer Classroom. I'm so happy to meet you!

I have taught in public, private, rural, urban, virtual and brick-and-mortar settings over the past 20+ years. I've taught grades PK-8, including 3rd and 4th classes, PE(!), and, pertinently, computer classes.

I love children's literature, science fiction, theatre, cats and dogs, swimming, yoga, and raising our eight-year-old grandson with my craft brewing husband. I applaud creativity and sincere effort. A personal quote? "Imagine good things as though they already are."

"Yep, that's Ms. Wood!" Watch for my Bitmoji/cartoon self in the instructional tips and videos of the curriculum.
