The Full Story
A Little About Me
Hey y'all! Welcome to the "A Little About Me" page... well, it'll be a whole lot, but ya know, semantics. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas but once I found the love of my life, I got here as fast as I could. I've been teacher for 9 years now, 3 in private, and working on my 6th year now in public education. My husband and I have a 6 year old daughter who is our world. I love being her bonus mom. We also have two dogs named Larry and Dwight, and a rambunctious hamster named Jellybean. We are in the process of building our dream home and look forward to adding a couple more little ones to our family.
Teaching, Learning, and Technology Statement
In essence, learning is a process that results in change that increases an individual's potential for improved performance and future learning. Learning can occur on many levels, including knowledge, attitude, and behavior. Teaching is paying attention to the needs, experiences, and feelings of the students, and intervene so that they learn certain things, and go beyond the norm. Technology gives us various products that can be used for good or evil, or whose usefulness is debatable, and likewise the processes involved in making and using in the classroom technology benefits the learner through easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.
