More About Me...

I've taught 7th and 8th grade PreAP and Regular English for over 20 years. It was only after much trepidation and procrastination that I finally earned a Masters in Educational Technology in 2010. If only I had known that it wouldn't be as daunting as I originally thought, I would have done it sooner. Technology is so embedded in classrooms now, so waiting wasn't such a bad choice.

There's More...

I enjoy integrating technology into the classroom and introducing Web 2.0 tools. -- and hope you find some useful resources here. I am always on the lookout for new and exciting as well as functional lessons. Recently, I've been creating interactive files to use with my Interactive Smartboard.
