My name is Tina Rodriguez. I have been a 1st grade teacher for 5 years. I have spent all of those years with the same school district.

I look forward to furthering my education because I have already gained so much useful knowledge. I am excited to learn new innovate ways to use technology in my classroom, that is what I really hope to gain from this class. I feel that technology can be such a benefit to students and educators as well.

This is my 5th year teaching. All of those years I have taught the first grade with the same school district. I love my job and the students that I get to work with!

When the pandemic hit I learned a lot of new ways to use technology, both in and out of the classroom. This was mostly in the form of Google classroom and Zoom meetings. This was actually a good thing because I have continued these practices within my classroom.

I feel very blessed that I get to wake up every day and do something that truly makes me so happy!

In our house we are huge Chiefs fans so we enjoy watching football. My husband travels for work, so we get to spend a lot of time discovering many new places! I'm always looking for something fun to take back and share with my students!

I have two daughters. One is 20 years old, she is a successful cosmetologist. The other is 14 and in the 8th grade. I am very lucky because I get to take her to school with me everyday. I also have a fur baby, that really does think he is a baby. He is a 3 year old French Bulldog named Ozzie.

As you can imagine, with 3 girls and a crazy dog in the house, there is never a dull moment!
