Certifications
Reading 7
Reading 7 is a course focused on learning and practicing the many skills that good readers use to gain meaning from both fiction and nonfiction text. The course will build upon and extend the reading skills learned in elementary school. Becoming a better reader will help students become better learners in all parts of their education and life. Students will do a variety of reading and responding to improve their skills and demonstrate their learning.
Technology 7
Technology 7 is a quarter class focused on the introduction of correct keyboarding techniques as well as computer-based and online computer applications including Microsoft Office, Google Drive, and iMovie. There is also an emphasis throughout the course on digital citizenship and safety including internet etiquette, media literacy, protecting personal information, and standing up to cyberbullying.

A large portion of my day is spent supporting students and teachers with their use of technology for learning. Whether they're using iPads or laptops, I'm here to provide assistance and promote the use of technology for learning!

Parent Resources
One of the toughest parts of parenting today is keeping up with your child’s use of technology and social media. Fortunately, there are resources available to help, and one of the best is an organization called Common Sense Media.
Their website offers advice to parents on movies, tv, apps, and books for kids of all ages in their "For Parents" section. Their "Parent Tips and FAQ" section offers answers to top parenting questions. They also offer reviews, news, and advice on all things media related.
Check out their great resources. And feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns about the role of technology in student's life.
