EDUCATION - the foremost way to
begin your future career

About the Instructor/Consultant K. Anthony Goodeill - M.S.in MIS / Management, University of Phoenix - is an adjunct instructor at Calhoun Community College as of Spring 2008. He is currently working at NASA as a IT Security & Operations Advisor and a NASA Web Developer.   On the fun side, Anthony plays World of Warcraft in his spare time, loves playing with his two little boys, and building furnature out of oak and other hardwoods.   My classroom philosophy is that learning should be fun. I bring an engaging and enthusiastic dynamic to teaching. I encourage participants to coach each other, reference the manual, etc. I cultivate an interactive, informal environment for questions and build trusting relationships with my students. I share my real work examples and invite students to do the same so that their new skills become immediately relevant and applicable.
