- About Me:
- I have been a professional educator for over 30 years. I completed my BA in Education at ASU, and earned my M.Ed. and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. I began my teaching career in special education and have taught grades 1-6. I have had many administrative/leadership roles throughout my career including elementary principal, special education director, director of a private school for the deaf, coordinator of a Professional Development School (PDS) program in the Madison District affiliated with ASU-West, and teacher education lecturer at ASU-West. Courses I have taught include action research, classroom instruction and management, curriculum organization, technology integration in the K-12 classroom, classroom assessment, and the student teaching capstone seminar. Since my second "retirement" in May 2007, I have been involved in many educational technology projects related to Web 2.0 and best practices for technology integration in schools/universities. I am currently the Westside AzTEA Co-Chair and AzTEA Board Member. AzTEA (Arizona Technology in Education Alliance) is an ISTE Affiliate Chapter.
My passion is continuing to explore all of the latest technology innovations and social networking opportunities for engaging students/teachers in powerful interactive learning experiences, and to share these resources with other educators. Retirement has provided me with time to spend with family, home projects, reading, getting together with friends, and most of all, playing with all of my technology tools.

Delighted to have your here.
You will have a tremendous amount to offer this community--please, share the perspective you've gained from all that experience in education.
Looks like in your "retirement" you might be more active than ever, and making waves! Good. That's what we need to do: share the resources between educators, and get them talking. And it can really be done: look at all these amazing tools we have for connection.
I look forward to your input, your ideas. Join right in!
