Episode Synopsis

Rob Wall was born and raised in the “City of Champions”, Edmonton, AB.  As a kid, Rob grew up in the freedom of the 80s! That freedom included having the town by the tail, simply telling your parents you’ll be home for supper before leaving in the morning, and being a spectator to the Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup parades during the Oilers heyday in the late 80s. 
After graduating from the University of Alberta, Rob began his career in education in 1991 and has spent the past 26 years at NBCHS educating his students in Accounting, Science, Theory of Knowledge, Communications Media and Coding among other subjects. Rob’s interest and skills in technology led him to complete his Masters degree in Educational Technology from the University of Saskatchewan in the 2000s, a time when tech in education…well… still used floppy disks. Rob even began an amazing EdTech Podcast in 2006 before any of the platforms that you are using to access this podcast existed! Listen in to this episode of NBCHS Over Coffee and get to know an individual whose knowledge and natural teaching ability, combined with his personable, approachable demeanour and quick witted sense of humour, make him an outstanding colleague and educator (and, you may also like to know if you can still get a copy of the first album Rob ever recorded on guitar!).
