Passion
It is my passion to inspire teachers to bring educational technology resources to their classroom, increasing wonder and awe in their students. By creating a learning environment where learning is accomplished by doing, and making mistakes is how we learn best, I hope to bring a spark to any training or presentation I do. It is my goal to make each training or presentation relevant to each participant., and get them them to leave with something they can use the next day in the classroom.
