Background Information
The first thing you should know about me is that I was a student at Florence Avenue School, the very same school I currently teach at. Needless to say, I have a lot of school pride. I first started teaching as a substitute teacher, then as an academic prep teacher teaching math. I then taught 1st grade for 1 year and 3rd grade for 1 year. I started my position as Computer Teacher in September 2007.
Technology was always something that has interested me. In fact, I considered majoring in computer information systems. Instead I tinkered with technology including creating my own homepages and learning code. Because my educational background includes a BS in Business Management from Palm Beach Atlantic College, I am already familiar and comfortable with basic office software including PowerPoint and Excel.
I am currently pursuing a master's degree in instructional technology at Walden University where I have already learned great applications for instructional technology for the classroom.
