“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – Yeats

As a teacher passionate about teaching technology in the 1:1 environment at Norway Vulcan Area Schools and as a part time instructor at Michigan Virtual, I strive to play a part in the revolution taking place in #EdTech, #coding and all things technology related. I am a huge advocate of #TeachNotBlock in schools and believe we should be promoting, using and teaching students to use social media correctly instead of blocking it. I teach Elementary Tech Ed, Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles, Computer Science Discoveries, Digital Technologies for the 21st Century/DT-21, Personal Finance/Accounting, Graphic Design, Multimedia and Tech Integration & Applications courses at NVAS as well as Mathematics in the Workplace at Michigan Virtual. Our school was selected as a Kodable for Everyone award winner! I'm super excited to be a Code.org facilitator for AP CSP and for Computer Science Discoveries as well. I was recently hired by Michigan Virtual as a part time instructor. I've been honored to receive the Golden Apple Teacher of the Year & Teacher of Distinction Awards as well as state runner up for MACUL Outstanding Technology Using Educator, the Outstanding Person in Education & an NHS Teacher of the Year. I have been a blogger for remind (Cell Phones in the Classroom) and have been a featured educator at Naiku (http://www.naiku.net/blog/) and teach LTU graduate technology courses for educators. I am super proud and excited to be the NHS cheer coach and also have judged competitive cheer. I have also done some work teaching community tech ed. I enjoy water & snow skiing, mountain biking, backpacking, skating & have been sky diving! I enjoy watching sports, especially football & am a Green Bay Packers fan who was able to attend Super Bowl XLV! Here you will find an open 'digital' door to my classroom. Let's learn together!
