About the store

I am a newly certified teacher, and I had a GREAT virtual student teaching experience last semester. I have a lot of experience working as a tutor to children in China (virtually), as well as here at home while assisting at an academic camp. I absolutely love creating digital content that aligns with CCSS and the needs of students.

Bridges and their forces- A cultural science/engineering story for kids

Created by

DigitalDesignCorp

Mabuhay! Hello- this is a book that I created that can be used for science, engineering, and to learn about Filipino culture. It is an original story with facts about bridges, structural design, and the forces that act upon bridges. You will also learn about the food, customs, and history of the Philippines by reading about Jones Bridge in Manila. I have included a reference page, and the NGSS standard that supports this book. Great for a read-aloud, or to have students conduct their own researc

Computational Thinking with Pokemon- Full lesson slides and student activities

Created by

My students loved this lesson about abstraction, one of the 4 main components of computational thinking. Great for grades 3-5 and fully aligns with NYS computer science standards. This is a full lesson in Google Slides that is ready to present-nothing else to do and nothing to prepare! This can be extended over a couple of class periods. Includes Pokemon images to engage student thinking and foster questioning, vocabulary (in english and spanish) with images, links, and student worksheet. Bitmoj

Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style can best be described as interactive and technology enhanced. Most of my teaching experience, including my student teaching practicum, has been virtual. I've had to find creative ways to keep students engaged, such as finding online math manipulatives that my class could use to compare fractions, Google Earth Projects to show students regions we were reading about, and Jamboards where everyone could answer a question in real time. I think it is so important for students to be engaged and actively participating. I have made use of e-books and YouTube read-alouds, but I look forward to the day when my students can select their own physical books from a classroom library, and are able to touch tools such as magnifying glasses and rulers that can enhance student learning. I am always looking for new ideas for fun, yet safe, learning materials to use in the classroom. I believe that students of all ages can benefit from having manipulatives to act as a scaffold to aid in the learning process. I feel that proficiency in technology is a 21st Century skill that all students should have in order to reach their full potential. Web 2.0 tools can be integrated into any subject area to enhance curricula and allow children to explore on their own. Lev Vygotsky believed in the concept of a more knowledgable other (MKO); someone with superior skills and knowledge who could assist a child in their learning. Besides teachers and peers, I believe technology can also act as a MKO to support children's evolving cognition in their zone of proximal development.
