I am currently a fourth grade teacher and have previously taught eighth grade, all in the Brunswick City School District. This is my sixth year teaching. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Middle Childhood Education from the University of Mount Union and a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology from the University of Akron. I am currently in pursuit of a doctorate in education in eLearning from Northcentral University. I have instructed many district-level professional development sessions on leading technology topics and have presented three years consecutively at the NEOTech Conference in Akron, Ohio. This summer I taught two workshops for the Medina County Educational Service Center. Topics I have instructed on include: Web 2.0 tools, Google Apps to create a classroom website, SMART Board interactive whiteboards, and creating teacher websites using Schoolwires software. Additionally, I have volunteered as a teacher's assistant for a college professor at the University of Akron, assisting with Master's level Instructional Technology courses.
