Welcome to my online portfolio!

Where I am...
Currenty I am teaching in Charles City, Iowa at the K-5 level. Throughout the day I have the privilege to teach alongside classroom teachers in our computer labs. My responsibilities include researching and implementing strategies to infuse technology into our curriculum to enhance the learning. I continually offer technology support to teachers and students. I also provide resources to all K-5 teachers to help differentiate curriculum for students both in the classroom and computer lab.
 
During the school day I work with third grade through fifth grade Identified Gifted and Talented students. Each group meets for 30 minutes per week. The ExPLoRe curriculum includes simulations allowing the students to become engaged in real-world learning.
Below is a link to student created Podcasts (the podcasts are enhanced with photos and video and require Quicktime to view)
