Overview

In my district, Waynesboro Area School District, I am the sole Instructional Technology Specialist. I was an elementary teacher for 10 years. I am able to talk about how to use every Google Workplace for Education Fundamentals application. I can talk basics as well as think of innovative ways to use the applications in a variety of educational settings. 

Within my district I work with teachers on a daily basis on how to use Google Workplace for Education Fundamentals applications both virtually as well as directly. I love helping teachers feel more comfortable taking risks and integrating all types from technology into their everyday lesson plans from Google Apps to codable robots. 

The latest technological jump with generative Artificial Intelligence has really grabbed my interest and intrigue. I have helped school districts from the around Pennsylvania embrace this game changing technology and not hide from it. I have spoken about unlocking student potential with AI at ISTE Live '23 and spoken about challenges and opportunities with AI on the main stage at ISTE Live '23!
