Hi, I’m Jordan Jankowski and I teach in the Commack Middle School Technology Department. This site will act as a Home page for the department. Our projects are mostly open-ended design challenges.

The videos, images and links are to be used as teaching aids when building the students knowledge base, before actual design takes place. http://cmstechnology.synthasite.com/
