School: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School #9
Position/Grade: ESOL Teacher / 5-6
Experience using technology in the classroom:
I am comfortable using videos, instructional technology, PowerPoint, Google Docs/Forms/Slides, etc. I am flexible and a quick learner so I try to keep up with all of the resources given at #9.
What I hope to gain during this Collegial Learning Circle:
I hope to become more comfortable with sharing publicly and becoming an expert of a learning tool and implementing it regularly, rather than remaining a "Jack of all trades."
Fears in using technology:
My fear of creating a blog is that everyone can see it! I am worried that as a teacher, I will be overwhelmed with all of the possible learning tools to use. I am tired of the cycle of getting a new resource, spending time with it, making lessons, and then having to switch to something new. I also worry that students might be spending too much time using technology.
Outside of School:
I make customized fitness hula hoops and teach classes for fun!

I also enjoy watching sports, reading, hanging out with friends, and traveling with my fiance.
