18 years teaching
Creating resources that will reach students with different learning styles and needs. I taught special education classes to kids on the spectrum, so some resources have a differentiated component in them to access all learners.

Eighteen years ago, I poured my heart and soul into creating Power Point slides that my students would like I had a really great group of kids that year, so I wanted my slideshow to be both educational and fun. I spent a ton of time going through tutorials, videos and researching material. Monday morning came, and I was really apprehensive to the slideshow to them. I had never done anything like that before, and I had no idea what to expect. Would they find it boring and hate it or would they think it was ok? Kids don’t hold back any punches, if they didn’t like, I would definitely hear about it. With my heart in my throat, I pressed play. Applause sounded as the slideshow ended and some students even gave it a standing ovation. They asked if I could play it again and again. They even wanted to dance to the videos. My eyes welled with tears of joy and relief. They liked it. They really, really liked it. Phew! That was it. I was hooked! I loved creating digital content. I found myself spending more and more time doing it until I wanted something that could do even more than Power point. So I left teaching for a while to get a diploma in graphic design. Now I am back in the classroom and combining both passions to create educational content to help teachers and that kids will love! ❤️
