Professional development

My Students

My students are people with a passion for making the world a better place. They are energetic, excited to learn, and love when technology is integrated into the lessons. They are always excited for new projects and activities that support the core standards.

My students are like a sponge and just soak up the learning that happens in our school.

They enjoy working collaboratively to solve the task at hand and find fulfillment in doing so. They are go getters.

My Project

In today's world, technology changes day to day. Technology today will not look the same in a few years. It's so important to prepare students for an ever changing world.

The ISTE conference will allow me to develop my technology skills and advance my knowledge of current tools and practices.

I am excited by new technology and love sharing it with my students and fellow colleagues. I am continually looking for new ways to use technology in my profession and to improve as an educator.

I am currently working on my ISTE certification and would love to be able to attend this conference to learn from other like minded individuals.
