About Me
I am a secondary special education teacher at the high school level in Anchorage, Alaska. I am very new to Web 2.0, however I am dedicated to bringing opportunities for my students to develop skills in areas of need as well as to develop skills for the 21st Century which most definitely include tech literacy and Web 2.0.

Additional Background
I moved to Alaska at age 18 to attend University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF), and have never left. I am celebrating my 20th year in Alaska in 2009. I graduated from UAF with a BS in Geography as well as regular education teaching credentials. I moved to Anchorage in 1994 to attend the University of Alaska, Anchorage (UAA) special education endorsement program. Upon earning Special Education, Mild Disabilities, Secondary credentials, I began my teaching career at West Anchorage High School, where I have taught for 13 years now in the special education setting. During that time I completed my Masters of Education- Special Education. I also married, had two incredible boys who are now 9 and 6.

    Hi Jenny! Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get Alaska students involved. Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Jenny! Things are really busy! I imagine they are on your end also. I snagged the concession stand for the girls' basketball games to raise money for the Washington D.C. trip. Here I thought things might slow down once grades were in for the end of the semester! lol
