Think you can't do it? Maybe you just haven't had the right teacher.

I love having the opportunity to help students everyday. You could be one of them! Currently, I am working in an elementary school where I teach technology to students in grades 1 through 8. I am lucky to work with over 400 students a week. We use computers to reinforce our math, writing and reading skills. We also learn how to use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, and Excel and Internet resources like Internet research, email, blogs, and website evaluation. I received my BS in Education from Drexel University as well as MS in Instructional Technology. In addition to teaching technology I run an after school club where I tutor younger students and mentor college students. I love finding new ways to make learning exciting.

Study Skills
