I am a high school teacher, college instructor, extracurricular adviser, and webmaster. I teach courses within the areas of English, Spanish, and Technology. My research interests include how technology standards are being utilized across curricular areas and how to improve teacher professional development to encourage more meaningful technology integration. Additionally, I am passionate about helping students gain proficiency in technologies to support lifelong learning and 21st-century citizenship. Want to learn more about me?
Technology is a TOOL and as such there is often more than one tool which can be appropriate for the job. The goal of successful technology integration is to make learning better because of the tool's use. While I have some tools I love for my classroom, they may not be appropriate for yours. Similarly, a tool you use regularly for a specific objective may not be the best option for a different lesson. Want to see some of my suggested tech tools?
I love teaching others about what I know and helping them to find their own way in the ever-changing world of educational technology. There are lots of ways to learn from simply jumping into your own searches or taking official classes; the goal is to make our teaching better through our own development.
