I LOVE using technology in my classroom.  It's truly one of my favorite parts of teaching.  I truly think that technology is a great tool to use in the classroom.  Now, that is an important thing to keep in mind:  technology is a tool.  It's not the end all be all, all we do is look at a screen and push buttons, answer to teaching but a powerful tool and option to empower students to interact and create their own learning.  It is with that though in mind that I set out to integrate technology into my classroom. I have been lucky to have had lots of experience with technology already in my short teaching career.  While in college at St. Norbert College (Go Green Knights!) I was a technology assistant for the teaching department.  After college I was lucky enough to get a great opportunity to help design, create, and implement one of the first one-to-one iPad classrooms in the state for 3rd graders. This was a wonderfully exciting and rewarding experience.  It was there that I really discovered my love to create and share ideas about technology in the classroom.  However, due to budget cuts my journey lead me to a small Catholic school in Slinger, Wisconsin were I am currently teaching my favorite age group.  I am lucky enough to have a interactive board in my classroom, a document camera, and access to a classroom set of iPads.  This year I have particularly found a love and interest in using QR codes for learning.  I hope you enjoy and share my excitement for technology in the classroom!
