Tuesday Teacher Profile: Mr. Tom Landon

Name: Mr. Tom Landon

Courses Taught: AP Human Geography

Location: Roanoke, VA

Years Teaching: 11

Hidden Talent: I play the trumpet in a goofy marching band called the Norman Fishing Tackle Choir, and I enjoy making not-for-profit documentary films on the side.

Thoughts about online teaching and learning: When I started working for Virtual Virginia, I worried that I'd miss the personal interaction with students. Now, four years later, I've learned that online courses ARE personal, and I think I know my students better now than I did in a face-to-face environment.
