Ron Houtman, Ed.S. – Director REMC8 

I've been an employee of Kent ISD for 21 years! My primary responsibilities are developing and delivering professional development opportunities for educators and students around integrating technology into their day-to-day teaching and learning practices.

I also am available to present to your school any technology-related topics you wish.  We're often in our area districts doing exactly that - helping others make sense of how best to use their resources.

In addition, we support LMS such as Schoology, Canvas, Google Classroom and Moodle, which allow educators to place a significant portion of their classroom content in a place that is accessible by their learners around the clock and on-demand.

I’m always happy to help you and your school with any advice on educational technology initiatives, technology bonds, and providing a non-biased second opinion.
