 * __Technology Vision Statement__**

//The world as we know is ever changing and as educators, we must adapt to those changes accordingly. Children of today are more technology savvy than even I was as a child. They are digital natives lead by the latest advancements the 21st century has to offer. I believe it is my job, the teacher's job, to embrace the skills students come to school with and integrate various applications and Web 2.0 technologies in daily instruction. In addition, we need to be teaching students computer literacy and how they can use these tools to become more productive and efficient members of our every changing society. Many of the jobs our students will hold in their future have yet to even be created since technology is still evolving. Many students, collegues, and even administration question 'why teach about technology....' Well, I question, Why Not?//

I am currently employed with Nordonia Hills City Schools at Northfield Elementary School. For the upcoming school year, I will be changing grades from 3rd to 2nd. I am very excited!
