Working as an Instructional Technology Specialist allows me to assist teachers with the task of integrating technology while enhancing the curriculum. To achieve this goal, I regularly meet with teachers to plan lessons, team teach, and train during conference times and after school. I am here to help teachers integrate technology as seamlessly as possible in our daily endeavor for student success in a 21st-century environment.
