About the store
I started as a Second Grade Teacher and taught at this grade level for four years. I also have taught Middle School Spanish for two years. While teaching Second Grade, I fell in love with integrating technology. As a result, I enrolled in a graduate program and received a Master's Degree in Technology in Education. Since earning my degree, I have been teaching K-8 Computer Technology Education. I have taught computer education classes to students in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade, supported teachers with technology integration, and facilitated teacher professional development. Currently, I am a middle school Library Media Specialist. In addition I am also College Adjunct Professor where I teach pre-service teachers how to integrate technology into the classroom.

Beginning, Middle, End Background for KidPix
This is a jpeg image that can be added as a background in KidPix. If you use Kid Pix with your students, you can add your own backgrounds to the software program. To do this, download the "how to directions" that I have uploaded to my store as a freebie.
If you don't use KidPix, you can still print this jpeg out and still use it as a template or insert it into PowerPoint or Word.
I create jpeg images to use as templates. They make great graphic organizers. In addition, student LOVE to use Kid

Teaching style
I encourage students to be independent thinkers and develop a life-long love of learning. My lessons are student centered, encourage student engagement, and challenge students to be creative thinkers. When I work with college students and adults, I am in favor of a hands-on experience. I am more of a facilitator rather than a lecturer. I am a believer in the flipped classroom model of teaching.
