Hello! I am a K-5 Digital Learning Specialist from Wisconsin who is passionate about empowering educators and students to effectively leverage technology to enhance learning and prepare students for a technology-driven world.
My expertise lies in integrating technology into the classroom to enhance the learning experience for students. I believe technology can be a powerful tool for engaging students and to help them develop 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
As an elementary digital learning specialist, I work with teachers to help them incorporate technology into their lessons and provide professional development opportunities to help them develop their skills. I also work directly with students, teaching them how to use technology in a safe and responsible way.
I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest technology trends and pedagogical practices to ensure I am providing the best possible support to teachers and students. In my free time, I enjoy experimenting with new technology tools and sharing my knowledge with others.
