 I have been the computer/technology teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary for the past 5 years. I am very excitied to be a new member of the Ranch View family.  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; Comic Life, iLife 08, iMovie Level 2, School Center Level1 and Level2, Media Blender, iWork and Integrating Technology into the Elementary Classroom.
