My Students

I teach 9-12 grade students in Worcester, MA., the second largest city in New England, and one which struggles with a high rate of poverty.

Despite the challenges this presents, my students are smart, talented, funny, brave, ambitious, and ready to learn the skills they need to be successful in college, careers, and the real world in general.

The digital age means students require digital literacy in order to effectively compete with their peers, and also means students need opportunities to step away from screens and embrace more intimate interactions with others and the natural world around them. I strive to provide both, and my amazing students are eager to rise to these challenges.

My Project

My students use technology daily as we learn about personal financial literacy, civics, and history. From building their own tools to make calculations and predictions, to researching institutions and cultures, Chomebooks are vital in my classroom. But we simply don't have enough for each student to have their own.

In the connected world we now live, it is critical that students develop the technological skills to compete in modern college and career settings.

By providing students the opportunity to do more than surf the web, but to actually learn how to use a computer to create, we build these skills alongside our curricula.
