Summary
I am an educator who enjoys placing the day’s topic in the middle of her students. Then, the fun and creativity begin as I seek to facilitate an environment where students are both interacting with each other and the topic at hand. In an age where information is available at any time to anyone, my main goal as an educator is to provide pertinent information, but more importantly model and facilitate how to make connections, how to reflect, and how to think.
