BP1_Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my adventures in blogging! I am so excited to continue on this journey in EMDT. I look forward to all that we are going to learn, and I am thrilled with everything that I have already added to my classroom to improve student engagement and understanding.

I am a fourth grade teacher at an International Baccalaureate school in Lakewood Colorado. I absolutely love my school and the amazing group that I work with. This is my fourth year of teaching forth grade, and I decided they are a great fit for me. I love that they understand my humor and sarcasm, and they are still excited to learn. I also enjoy that they are willing to have fun with me without the fear of not looking cool. Like today, when we all played Just Dance on the Wii (and yes I won). I only wish I had a picture I could share with everyone.

I love to travel and spent a semester abroad in London. I am now slightly obsessed and can't wait until I have a chance to go back again. One of my goals is to teach abroad, and I am hoping to take my new ideas to other countries and share what I know. This will be a great opportunity for me to inspire others. I have applied for the upcoming school year, so keep your fingers crossed that everything works out!

I hope to use what I learn in this program to increase the amount of technology that I use in the classroom. I am thrilled that by month three I have already been able to add new technology to our everyday learning, as well as convince other teachers to try new things.
