Mike BlegenDigital Media TeacherI first became interested in teaching as a career during my time in Costa Rica as a Peace Corps volunteer. Out of all the projects that I worked on, I found teaching to be the most rewarding. When I returned to the US, I worked in the tech industry for a number of years before taking the plunge and getting my Masters in Education. Initially, I taught Biology, but when a position teaching Computer Technology opened up at TST BOCES, I jumped at the opportunity. After teaching Computer Technology for 8 years, I created a new class at the Career and Tech Center - Digital Media Technology. I’ve been teaching at the Career and Tech Center for over 20 years now. During my spare time, I enjoy playing music, martial arts, and woodworking.
