This is my third year as the Technology Integration Specialist at Bay View Middle School in the Howard Suamico School District. We are a progressive 1:1 iPad, Apple, and GAFE school. I love helping teachers and students discover the wows and wonders of learning through technology. It's like opening a whole new world to them. Professional development is a passion of mine, both my own and for my teachers and administrators. I love connecting with other educators around the country and the world. Recently, our building, through my leadership and the leadership if my co-presenter Paul Hermes, has transitioned into a connected building with all teachers on Twitter. We have effectively taught them how to use it, how to take advantage of it, and how to participate in chat. We ourselves use various forms of social media to communicate with all stakeholders around the community, state, nation and world. We know the importance of its use and how to share various tools to become more connected.
