Greetings! I am the Instructional Technology Coach at the amazing BSE where we are “Building a Community of Leaders.” We are a Title I school located in rural South Carolina. After 20 years in education, I am excited for this new journey and all the learning opportunities it will bring. I know that working with students in kindergarten through 5th grade will bring challenges that will strengthen us all. Welcome to our STEM adventure and fasten your seat belts for the ride!
If there is one lesson that I have learned, it is not to place my own limitations on my students.
When you serve students in a high need, high poverty area, every advantage has the potential to be life-changing. No matter what challenges our students may face in life, they come to school ready to learn and eager to explore.
My Project
Our young learners need a variety of ways to explore the world around them. Field trips are great, but not always possible. What better way to nurture their learning than by bringing the world into the classroom. The virtual reality experience will allow students to travel the world from a set of viewers.
Technology provides our students with such an advantage.
They are able to explore the world from the comfort and safety of the classroom. Our STEAM lab will be a place for students to be creative and innovative problem solvers. Virtual reality is an important piece in our journey to learn more about the world of coding and computer science.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
