I have had the pleasure to serve as an educator in Wisconsin’s Verona Area School District for over 30 years. During that time, I have enjoyed working with the staff, students, parents, and community members to thoughtfully integrate technology into the classrooms. In 1995, I became the Educational Technology Coach for the Verona Area High School.
As the Educational Technology Coach, I support the classroom teachers I serve by modeling innovative technology strategies, co-planning lessons, co-teaching, curating research and resources, analyzing student usage data, and many other strategies. Often, my colleagues will come to me with requests for resources to overcome a certain classroom issue, and like in many school systems, among the biggest issues right now is a lack of student engagement.
