Next on the MTT employee Hot Seat is Kim Moritz M.Ed., Autism Software Consultant (and excellent lesson author!) at Monarch Teaching Technologies. Find out how she answered questions like “What is your Secret Super-Hero Name?”

Name: Kim Moritz

Photo Caption: Prom 2008 :)

Position: Autism Software Consultant

Touchscreen, Stylus, Keyboard or Pen? Depends! Touchscreen if it is working and oriented, keyboard if I need to get things done quickly and neatly, pen IF none of my gadgets are working (which has been known to happen).

Favorite Music? Anything that I can dance to…although “rap is crap”

Cat, Dog, Fish or Pet Rock? All of the above. With a degree in biology, I love them all. I also grew up on a farm and lived on one until about five years ago. These are the animals that I have raised: cats, dogs, fish, turtles, hamsters, ducks, chickens, turkeys, skunks, sheep, pigs, pot bellied pigs, guinea pigs, goats, pygmy goats, and ferret. These are the animals that I have dissected: human, cat, shark, pig, frog, fish, clam, earthworm, crayfish, grasshopper, and starfish. By the way, the best spiders and snakes are dead spiders and snakes.

Favorite Website?
Anything that will give me the ACCURATE info that I want…the faster the better.

What is Your Secret Super-Hero Name? Wonder Woman

Baseball, Football, Basketball or Dancing with the Stars? Basketball

Zodiac? Gemini, I wish that I had a twin…I have a list of things for her to do!

What Do You Want The VizZle Community To Know About You? Working with VizZle combines three very important things for me: special needs children, education and technology.

Wondering who is behind these Krispy Kremes of edification and elucidation? Meet the editor!

I made myself the first of the MTT employees you’ll see quizzed here for your edutainment (in part so I won’t feel bad about holding my fellow employees feet over the flames at a later date)…

The Hot Seat Quiz:

Name: Pam Homsher

Position: Director of Communications (or VizZicomunicatrix—but only when I’m allowed to wear thigh-high stiletto boots and carry a whip to work) (TMI?)

Touchscreen, Stylus, Keyboard or Pen? Keyboard (I’m not a total Ludditte. Close… but not total)

Favorite Music? Trop Rock

Cat, Dog, Fish or Pet Rock? Pet rock (Hmmm. I’m sensing a “rock” theme…)

Favorite Website? Currently it’s http://despair.com/ , hilarious (check out their customer disservice, where their motto is “We’re not satisfied, until you’re not satisfied”)

What is Your Secret Super-Hero Name? Bat S**t

Baseball, Football, Basketball or Dancing with the Stars? DWTS unless I’m allowed to play in Bob’s man-cave (long live the F&P). Then Football.

Zodiac? Bull and Dragon

What Do You Want The VizZle Community To Know About You? I’m a conscript in the struggle with autism by an accident of birth (NOT accidental birth, as some read this lol–by accident OF birth–just clarifying for the sake of my reputation :-) ). My weapon of choice is humor. Those of you who volunteer to do battle in the special ed ranks truly amaze, inspire and awe me. My family and I thank you.
