With nearly two decades of experience in education focusing on using technology in the classroom, I am excited to bring my expertise once again to NCCE. I am a recovering middle school humanities teacher who had the honor of teaching everything from US History to Journalism and technology in the classroom. I am currently one of the technology TOSAs for Bethel School District focusing my work on high school 1:1 iPad integration and the upcoming pilot for secondary standards-based grading.
