About Joe Bedingfield
In May 2005, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Childhood Education (4-9) from Ashland University. My license was for Language Arts and Social Studies. After one year of substitute teaching, I was hired where I student taught at South Central Middle School in Greenwich, Ohio. South Central is a small rural school about thirty minutes south of Cedar Point. I have taught English and Technology for the past twelve years at South Central Middle School.
In addition to being a teacher, I coach basketball and have done so for the past fourteen years at all levels. Every summer I work Michigan State basketball camp for a week which allows me to learn from some of the best coaches in America. I believe coaching is teaching, and everyone can succeed with a little coaching.
Since 2008, I have explored multiple Master programs at a number of schools. I chose Bowling Green's Master's program because of the outstanding technology program. Not only will I achieve a Master's degree in May, but I earned a (K-12) Computer Technology endorsement in the spring of 2017. Bowling Green's program allows the student to explore many different useful technologies to support student learning. After completing my computer endorsement and my masters degree in May of 2017, I feel confident in the direction my career is heading.
