Podcasting Mobile Lab
Educational Mobile Lab Why I need this:
This lab would be invaluable to us in our classroom community. We are in a new school and have the bare minimum, but we do have computers and a few headphones. This lab would allow us to really get serious about podcasting. A small group of our fifth grade is producing school's daily announcements and uploading them on a blog. This lab would allow more students to be involved and improve the podcast quality.

Personal Information:
About Me:
I love teaching. It is my passion. I have worked with and enjoy both students and teachers and enjoy both. I am involved in applied learning. I believe it is important for students at any age to take an active part in their learning. Students can solve real-world problems, create systems, and manage and plan events. These high interest opportunities allow students to apply skills and practice them in a safe setting.

Activities:
I love to read. I also work out and every year participate in a triathalon or running event. I have two sons and they keep me busy with their sports. I am a football, basketball and lacrosse spectator.
Favorite Books:
I love picture books and enjoy sharing them with my students. Some of my favorites are Pink and Say, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Tuesday. I especially like to use books to provide adult models for student writing.
Favorite Quotes:
"Learning is experience. Everything else is just information." AlbertEinstein

Research on the brain and how people learn. Art and technology.
Employment History:
I have worked in the Everett School District for 15 years. I spent 5 years in middle school teaching 6th grade and then two years with 5th grade. I spent about 6 years working with teachers supporting elementary mathematics professional development and providing and developing online resources. I am now back in the classroom, where I love to be, at a new school teaching 5th graders.
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I love to work with children. I am fueled by their creativity, compassion, thinking "outside the box" and their natural inquisitiveness. All students are capable of learning and I enjoy the challenge of supporting them to meet their varied needs.
