Teaching style
For computers, I believe in teaching the students how to complete projects that are integrated within their classroom instruction. When I do assign students to play comnputer games, I choose games very carefully and always have a criteria for what they need to accomplish.
When I teach math, I am very structured, but like to add in fun activities, games, and projects that get kids excited about math.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Computer Products: My computer worksheets use a variety of websites. Occasionally a website has changed and the link that I have provided does not exist anymore or the content has changed slightly. For example, when we elected Barack Obama for president, the White House website instantly changed. I use all these worksheets and update them when I notice a problem. However, I may miss some changes. If you purchase one of my products and find the website isn't correct, please leave me a message, and I will update the worksheet ASAP so that you can download it again.
Math Products: I do my best to make a quality product, but do make errors. If you download a math product and something is not clear or incorrect, please contact me, and I will update the product ASAP with corrections so that you can download it again.
