About 11 years ago I left the middle school science classroom after 19 years to become the sole K-12 Technology Integration Specialist for a pretty big district. I find great joy in helping teachers meet the needs of their diverse students. I have a strong belief that we can and should find ways to reach all students in our classrooms. As teachers we often need to step out of the box and even our comfort zones to find creative ways to help our students learn.

I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. The beautiful scenery on the Cape is very good for the soul. I love the sea it helps put things in perspective. Some of the pictures on the banner are taken in town others are of at trip to a 19th century one room school house. My husband is also a teacher and shell-fisherman in the summer. I have one college age child and one post-college entering the world of work.

I am involved in many formal and informal learning opportunities. I have presented at MassCUE,  NECC (now ISTE), and EduCon.  I was actively involved in the DEN in SL within Second Life® . I participate in Twitter  and other networking sites.

I blog because it helps me to think and keep track of my learning experiences. Along the way I found it was also a means of connecting with other educators. Blogging has been an integral part of my growth as an educator. I tend to write about Learning and Educational Technology.

I love to facilitate workshops, presentations and conversations. I value what I learn from these experience, I also feel I have experiences worth sharing.  Please feel free to contact me about an opportunity to share with you.
