This is Mr. Hyman's 12th year teaching, his 11th year at P.S.101Q. Mr. Hyman is a permanently certified, tenured teacher and has also taught 5th and 6th grade.

In 2006, Mr. Hyman took over the technology program at P.S.101Q, connecting conventional teaching with the use of technology. The technology program at PS101Q uses technology and computers as a learning tool. We explore the web, get to know programs like Microsoft Office (Word, Publisher, Excel and Power Point), and use technology for test prep purposes (Scantron Performance Series). In addition, the program combines traditional teaching with the technology of today by using SMART Boards (Interactive Whiteboards).

In September, 2009, Mr. Hyman was named the school's Data Specialist.

Before teaching, Mr. Hyman worked in television production and in baseball. From 1996 to early 1997, Mr. Hyman worked as a researcher for the Geraldo Rivera Talk Show in NYC.

From March 1997 until October of 2001 Mr. Hyman was a videographer/scout for the New York Mets Baseball Club.  For several years, Mr. Hyman worked as a videographer scout and as a teacher at the same time until he decided to leave baseball after the 2001 season and turn his attention to teaching full time.

Mr. Hyman graduated from Hofstra University with his B.A. Degree in 1996 and with his Masters Degree in elementary education in 1999. Currently, he teaches technology at PS101 and published the student yearbook from 2001 to 2007. He is also the Director of the Hofstra University Summer Baseball Speacialty Camp.

Mr. Hyman is currently obtaining his School Building Leadership (SBL) license as well as his Technology license (SLAT) from New York Institute of Technology (completion date: December, 2011).

When school is not in session, Mr. Hyman also is a consultant for Scholastic, Inc., for Interactive White Board technology and lessons.  He has helped to design IWB lessons for teacher resource material and has also presented IWB lessons for Scholastic at NBC's Education Nation and most recently, the 2011 International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) in Philadelphia, PA.

In addition to all of that, he is in the process of writing a book about his 5 years as a videographer/scout for the Mets...all he needs now is a publisher.
