About Me
I have had the great opportunity to assist my school in making the switch from Windows to Mac. The road was filled with hours of research, training, hands on help, patience and tears. The outcome is the pride that I have to watch my teachers who once used their computers for email and Google.. now create their own websites with iweb produce movies and podcasts with iLife and now share the love that I have for my Mac and what it can provide our students and teachers in the classroom and home!

My background:
BS Special Ed Slippery Rock University
Special Education Teacher Pre K through Adult
Assistive Technology Consultant for school board

Received Masters from Azusa Pacific University (online) Educational Technology
Adjunct professor for APU Educational Technology Program
Director of Instructional Technology for Park Avenue Christian Academy

    Valarie, do you plan to come to FETC in Orlando in mid-January?
    There's a terrific group of technology-using teachers who has two events during FETC, and you might be interested:

    Florida technology-using educators!
    Come to the FACE meeting during FETC and get a light bite of some great Italian food and a drink.
    We will celebrate the successes of FACE and Florida teachers using educational technology in a social setting.
    Come to meet your FACE officers and other FACE members.
    If you will attend, please RSVP. If you are bringing a friend, please include that.
    Free for members with current dues and $10 for non-member spouses. FETC members will get two drink tickets. Nonmembers can join FETC for $25.
