I have a passion for educational technology. I have attended NCTies for the last 3 years, and I am a member of a county wide initiative to engage teachers in becoming digital leaders in their schools called Teacher Leader Network. I am also an active member of my school's digital learning team. In addition to this I have sought out opportunities such as a week long institute at NCCAT on how to make better use of technology in the classroom. I have also attended multiple Edcamps. I believe that technology should not be a piece that is added on to the lesson but a purposefully embedded piece of the daily classroom routine. I have a passion for not just getting technology into the hands of my students but for also getting teachers to see the many varied uses of technology in their own classrooms. I believe that technology is the great equalizer in the classroom and that no matter what your experience level, technology can help you to gain new knowledge. It is our job as educators to expose our students to as many different types of technology as possible, and it is also our job to support other educators in doing the same.
From iPads, to smartboards, to document cameras, to websites, to flipped lessons and paper slides. Technology is a great way to get students actively engaged in lessons, help teachers work smarter and collaborate, and to further strengthen the home school connection. The links listed below are just a small sample of the ways that I have used technology in my daily teaching life.
