My Students

My school is made up of a racially, economically, linguistically, and culturally diverse group of middle school students who are passionate about using technology in the classroom and eager to have teachers who integrate technology effectively into their instruction.

Although my school is historically low-performing, the administration, staff, and students are committed to changing perceptions, breaking barriers, fostering growth, and achieving our goals for all our students.

With your help, we can continue our growth by fostering a professional environment of collaboration and learning in which teachers master the technological tools and strategies needed to help our students be successful.

My Project

My school district recently upgraded all faculty computers to laptops running Windows 10, and they made the transition to Office365 a few weeks ago. With many new tools at teachers' disposals, it is imperative that they have someone with the knowledge and ability to help whenever they have questions.

My taking Microsoft's Technology Literacy for Educators Exam and becoming a Microsoft Certified Educator, I will become qualified to become the resource my fellow educators need and will be able to offer essential training and guidance for how to best leverage new tools like Microsoft Teams, One Note, Sway, and more.
