What do you do?
I am a Computer Teacher and Technology Teacher Leader at Bluford Elementary School in West Philadelphia. I support the school and the staff with their technology needs and I am always trying new ways to integrate technology into the curriculum.
What do you wish you did?
I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. I only wish I had more time outside of the classroom for training teachers and modeling lessons.
Have you ever been to a BarCamp before? If so, which one(s)?
No! I’m intrigued to see what it’s all about.
If you were to lead a session, what would it be about?
Using technology to help teachers be more effective in the classroom and ways that new technologies can support instruction in the classroom.
Give us one interesting fact about yourself!
I lived in Senegal (in West Africa) for a semester (4 months) studying French and Wolof culture.
