About Me
I'm a District Technology Integration Specialist for Northbrook District 28 in Northbrook, IL. In my role as a technology integration specialist, it’s my job (and passion) to show our teachers and staff how technology can transform their teaching and their students’ learning. Working with these adult learners, assisting them with their personal technology learning and helping them integrate technology into their teaching, is a true delight. I also enjoy learning from them. It thrills the teachers (and students) to have taught the “tech person” something about computers; it happens nearly everyday! I feel that it is important to continually be learning myself and not to be afraid to admit I don’t know everything.

Prior to my current position, I ran a K-5 school computer lab for 3 years and spent many years as a 4th grade teacher. It has been my pleasure to present at national and local education conferences on topics such as: curriculum development, the reading/writing process, and technology integration. Recently, I co-authored a book for teachers on using the software application, Comic Life.

    I used wetpaint because I was curious about the differences between PB, wikispaces and wetpaint. There are subtle differences and some frustrating problems with wetpaint. I had difficulties with some page arrangements and layouts. PB seems OK and easy for students. I have found that I need a bit of html knowledge to do some fancy stuff with Wspaaces. So at this point I have eliminated Wpaint as something I would use in the future. Down to 2! I have about 10 spaces on wikispaces that work OK. I can't wait for them to do more WYSIWYG type of a look without html.
