Mr. K introduces himself as a teacher of IT, computer science, and math who has 20 years of experience in education. He has a master's degree in computer science and has worked as an IT/CS teacher, high school math teacher, and Microsoft Certified Trainer. He is happy to now be teaching at MKIS. The document goes on to prompt students to introduce themselves and ask what they want to learn in the class. It also addresses stereotypes about computer science, explaining that it involves designing complex systems to solve problems, while information technology focuses on using existing technology to meet daily job needs.
