 * A Few Facts about Me:**
 * I live [|Evansville, Indiana]. I work in a [|rural school district] as a high school English teacher, though in previous incarnations I have been a school librarian and middle school social studies teacher. My class [|website] is ever-changing, as my students use it to find out what they'll be doing each day. While you're there, do check out my blog! This year's projects include Facebook groups and iPads!
 * I am a fourth generation teacher.
 * I have been teaching online classes for [|Performance Learning Systems] since 2009. I love to learn new things and share the information and strategies with teachers.
 * I have been performing (singing and piano) since I was four years old.
 * I love to shop for antiques and find new and interesting ways to use my treasures("junk" as my husband calls it!) in my home. I also love to travel, near or far! I backpacked through Germany and Italy in 2000 and returned to Italy in 2004. My next goal is to get to England and study in Stratford and London!
 * We have a daughter, Meredith, who is an active dancing, singing, laughing four year old. She is truly a joy!

 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:** I would like to learn more about what other teachers think of the new Internet-connected generation and the integration of Web 2.0 technology tools. I also love the opportunity to meet people from across the country! When my father started teaching in 1959, I'm sure none of what we are doing was conceivable!

 * Favorite Games:** I host a Scrabble tournament in my English classes at the end of the spring semester. The kids really seem to enjoy it! Otherwise, I'm not much of a gamer (too competitive!), except for anything related to trivia (go Buffalo Wild Wings!). I //am// enjoying some of the gaming apps on the iPad, especially Boggle!
