VISION AND MISSION
Technology is a powerful tool
that opens doors for students, challenges their thinking and improves their learning. Technology gives students opportunities to problem solve and collaborate in ways that were not previously
possible.
For the past 9 years technology has become an integral part of my classroom. The classroom is standards driven. Helping other educators understand the importance of using technology in the learning process is my primary mission. I train other teachers and staff how to apply the technology to their classrooms. I have the vision of one day every teacher has a desktop that helps to determine their professional growth and allows them to be a part of a supportive online community of mentors and experts that support this growth.
