BP1_Welcome to My Blog Post

 
Welcome to my Spot in the Blog World!  Many of you already know me and my story, so I'll keep it short and sweet.  If you think I've forgotten something important, please feel free to add your comments! 
  • 3rd Grade Teacher at Frost Elementary School (Riverview, FL)
  • Technology-illiterate PRIOR to August 2011 (Start date of EMDT program)
  • Grew up just outside of Detroit, MI
  • Graduate of Youngstown State University (OH) with a B.S. in Elementary Education
  • Momma to 4 rescue animals: Jemima (cat), Jersey (cat), Jillian (1.5 year old, blind Golden Retriever) & Jenny (8+ year old Golden Retriever)
  • Auntie (the best) to 9 nephews & nieces
  • Friend to All (well, most)
I can't begin to describe how much the EMDT program has changed who I am as a teacher.  First, I have gotten BRAVE!  My ActiveBoard used to reside in the corner, and it now has a preeminent place at the front of the classroom.  I have gotten FUN (well, I've always been fun, but not . . . ) TECHNO FUN!  We are using iMovie, podcasts, and Comic Life in my classroom with fantastic results!  Can't wait to learn and implement even MORE!

Thanks for reading.  Keep coming back.  I'm sure there will be a funny story or dramatic something-or-other to share in the near future.  That's life!
