My classroom motto: It Takes EFFORT to grow your intelligence! Once you have learned the information and apply it - It is simple, easy & fun! This is my second year as a K-6 Technology Teacher/Coach. I work closely with the classroom teachers to integrate technology into the curriculum. My elementary students learn mouse skills, keyboarding, coding, and Google Apps as well as how to research using INFOhio.org. We have incorporated Kahoot and Nearpod into our learning and assessments. We have 5 FIRST Lego League robotics teams in our elementary school and each year work to include more and more students. We continue to bring S.T.E.A.M to life in our elementary school. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the classroom teachers to incorporate technology with student learning. Go Gmen!
