Who I Am
Teacher & Educator |
I have been a teacher for 10 years! I love being able to say I have finally hit double digits and think this must be how my 4th graders feel when they finally turn 10. Most of my years have been in 4th grade, 3 self contained and 6 as departmentalized Math & Science. I did have one crazy year as a self contained third grade teacher, and the experience only strengthened my respect for anyone who teaches younger than 9! (The same can be said for Middle School....they are so strange) I may venture higher one day but for now I love my double digit multiplication and fraction skills. This year I am back to Self-Contained in 4th grade and I am looking forward to the experience in NISD.

My Family |
I have 4 energetic and expensive children, so any technology I use is of the free kind unless my district is sweet enough to buy me a license. So, I can tell you it is completely possible to have a highly integrated classroom and spend $0 of your own money.
So, yes I am cheap and I own it 100%. |
Love for Technology |
I have had a love for technology for many years. I first began training teachers on MacBook computers in my previous school district. I have hosted a range of sessions from basic laptop skills and troubleshooting to website developing and integration with students. As technology changes I try to change with it, technology keeps a life long learner very busy!
