This is my 18th year of teaching and each year is even more exciting than the last. I love working with students and inspiring them to go above and beyond my expectations. This is a project/design based classroom and we use technology to enhance our curriculum. I try to give each student my best effort so they will do the same.
Favorite Educational Quote
"Education cannot be compared to filling up an empty pot, but rather to...lighting a fire. The proper test of an education is whether it teaches the pupil to think and whether it awakens his interest in applying his brain to the various problems and opportunities life presents."
by Geoffrey Browther
Mrs. Garner on the Teacher's Role in a Technology-rich Classroom
Using technology in the classroom does not diminish the role of the teacher. The teacher becomes the human voice of encouragement, the human face of approval, and the human heart of devotion.
