I hold a Masters degree in Education and have been working in general education and gifted education classrooms for the past 25 years. I have worked in both public and private schools and have had a chance to compare various school districts and curriculum throughout the country.
I love Project Based Learning with a team-building approach. I also try to integrate technology into my curriculum whenever possible. I find students are more willing and totally able when it comes to using technology to enhance their learning. I believe that it is our responsibility to help students be successful in this 21st Century world. In order to do that, we sometimes need to get out of our comfort zones, and share and model the learning process whenever possible.
