I am currently finishing my undergrad and will graduate in May. I started my masters program last fall through WWU bridge program which allows you to start early and finish quicker! I am currently student teaching in a first grade classroom.

I got married a year ago in May and moved to California Missouri. My Husband and I have three fur babies. I grew up in Halfway Missouri were I graduated from a very small school.

I want to learn how to utilize technology to the fullest and not just as an engagement piece but to also enhance learning. My 1st graders struggle navigating their new chromebooks we have had all second semester but they are super efficient on an ipad. I want to help them gain confidence in the chromebook and become more independent with them. so I need to learn how to teach students how to use them.

An interesting fact about me is that I played softball for Team USA in a tour to Australia before I came to college.

I use technology to differentiate and create multimodal lessons. I want to allow students to use their new Chrombooks more independently. however my first graders can't seem to understand how to use the Chromebook, unlike the ipads they have mastered. I need to learn how to help students understand the new devices become familiar with them.
