Teaching style

I use technology to teach technology. And I use books to teach a love of reading. I guess you'd say my teaching style is "hands-on."

Additional biographical information

My goal has always been to make teachers’ lives easier. I offer tips, time-savers, printables, and tutorials to help make the world of instructional technology relevant, manageable, and useful. I’ve always offered this kind of support to my colleagues, but the recent global pandemic and subsequent distance learning trend really encouraged me to put myself out there to help teaches everywhere. I started a YouTube channel called Trapani’s Tech Tips 4 Teachers, and I’ve now thrown my hat in the ring here as well. Reach out anytime with questions or requests!
