About the store
I am a passionate educator with 20 years of experience in the largest school district in Alabama. I spent my first six years teaching kindergarten, which was a rewarding experience. In my seventh year, I transitioned to the role of Technology Support Teacher (TST). This position allowed me to conduct and maintain training sessions, manage training schedules, attend technology meetings, assist with grants and funding, implement a technology-integrated curriculum, and troubleshoot computers. On May 5, 2012, I proudly graduated from the University of West Alabama with an Education Specialist Degree in Teacher Leadership. I now work at the districts Central Office as a resource for all of our teachers.

Teaching style
I use an innovative teaching style that focuses on using multimedia technology in a problem-based learning environment. I use multimedia to adapt the contents of the material. By incorporating digital media elements into my teaching style, the students are more motivated to pay attention to the information presented and ultimately, retain the information at a higher degree.
