I teach 4th grade (all subjects) and previously taught 5th grade science & social studies. I am extremely interested in genius hour, constructivism in education, and aggressive/progressive use and adoption of technology in education. I am a learner first and a teacher second. Social connectivism and the use of PLN in educational contexts is also focal point in my current learning.
