| | This is my 2nd year at Ranch View and am excited to return to the RVMS family. Previously, I have been the computer/technology teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary for the past 5 years. While at RVMS, I work with classroom teachers to integrate technology into their curriculum and in the lab I work with sudents who use technology and the tools of their future. I also enjoy teaching skill blocks for adult learners. The skill blocks allow Douglas County teachers to learn how to integrate technology into their curriculum. The skill blocks that I have taught include; Challenge Based Learning, Web Design, Comic Life, iLife 08, iMovie Level 2, School Center Level1 and Level2, Media Blender, iWork and Integrating Technology into the Elementary Classroom. |
