About Me
I'm a classroom teacher (mostly middle school humanities) currently working for the Elk Grove School District, a huge, rapidly growing area in the south Sacramento area, as a technology support specialist.

For the past 12 years, ever since the Internet arrived at my classroom doorstep, I've been dabbling with technology as a tool for catapulting learning. I've always realized we were on the edge of something great, but never could quite articulate what that "something" was. With the arrival of Web 2.0, I see everything changing about the way we teach and learn. That's another piece I'm trying to wrap my brain around, but the possibilities are just so mind boggling.

I love gardening, walking with my dog Nola, bike riding, and hiking in the Sierras.

    Hi! Please fill out Alice Mercer's Google Doc regarding setting up future meetings in Sac. It will just take a minute. Thanks for your feedback. :) (I'm sure you probably already did, but wanted to tell you just in case.) ;)

    I'll have the opportunity to help write curriculum for our new middle school humanities (grades 6 and 7) starting in the fall. What grades do you teach and what do you include for the history/social studies part of your curriculum. We have not included American History (6-8) up until now. I was an ELA teacher but my degrees and certifications are English and HIstory. You can imagine how excited I am to be able to combine the two. Love to hear what you do.
