I taught first and second grade and then moved into a position as a technology facilitator. In that position I taught professional development within the school, district, and at conferences. I also helped develop lesson and resources for K-4, and co-taught lessons in K-4 classrooms. In the state of North Carolina Technology Facilitators are required to become certified in Instructional Design. The program that I attended has a reputation across the country for being rigourous. My training focused on designing materials in a format that takes into account how people learn. All of my materials are designed with this training in mind. This means that I not only apply my experience as a teacher when developing resources, but the science behind formatting the materials as well.
