Teaching with Technology

This site was created as a part of my final project for my Master's of Education degree in Curriculum and Instructional Technology from Iowa State University.  In this portfolio, you will find a variety of examples that showcase a part of the growth I experienced as a graduate student in this program.

I have a Master's of Education degree in Curriculum and Instructional Technology from Iowa State University.  I have worked with many great professors and innovative educators throught this process.  My experiences have translated to many positive changes in my classroom.  I highly recommend this program to any educators interested in learning how to enhance student learning with the use of technology in the classroom.

​

My undergraduate work was also completed at Iowa State University.  I received my Bachelors of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences Education  in December of 2006.  I am licensed to teach High School Family and Consumer Sciences in Utah and Iowa.

 

I work as an Education Technology Specialist for Canyons School District.  I serve Brighton High School and Union Middle School.  I taught Family and Consumer Sciences for 9 years before transitioning into my current role.  I have presented on Nearpod, Gamification in the Classroom, Video tools, and researched based LMS design at conferences.  You can find many of these presentation materials on this site.
​
As a classroom teacher, I had 20 iPads that were used for various projects.  We commonly use Nearpod for interactive notetaking and Canvas for our learning management system.  Students use a variety of apps to support project based learning.
