A Techie Teachers Blog
Navigating Middle School with heart and humor to leverage AI and technology to promote student success.
About Me:
I am a wife, mother, and educator, deeply enthusiastic about all aspects of educational technology. I thrive on collaborating with and learning from others. This blog is my platform to share innovative ideas that foster creativity in teaching and to document my own classroom journey. My goal is to connect with other educators who are leveraging AI technology for enriched learning and teaching. So, welcome, I'm glad you're here!
I've been a Middle School educator for the last 10 years. My childhood dream was to become a professional soccer player, not a teacher. However, my experiences on the Rutgers Women's Soccer team, alongside the coaches and teammates who shaped me, ultimately led me to discover my passion for education. I've always admired individuals who embody qualities like kindness, dedication, and the ability to inspire others—qualities I believe are essential in great educators. Over the years, I've often reflected on the words of these inspiring individuals, which continue to resonate with me:
"You will never be anything but mediocre if you don't commit to being all in.""No shot you're up for the challenge."
"If it's not in the best interest of the kids, not doing it."
So, if you too are open to learning, honing your craft, and all techie things, this blog might be for you! My hope is for this site to be informative, entertaining, and a showcase of my favorite resources I have created or stumbled upon over the years. Sprinkled in will be a few anecdotal stories, so follow along, and join in on the conversation. Look forward to connecting with you.
Let's do this!
