From AVID to technology integration to literacy intervention; a career built on relationships, technology, and a belief that every student can succeed.
As a Technology Integration TOSA at Minneapolis Public Schools, I led district-wide technology integration across 60+ schools, serving 5,000 staff and 29,000 students. I designed and delivered professional development, built Technology Integration Kits with lesson plans and training, and partnered with teachers and leaders at every level to make technology work in real classrooms, not just in theory.

A 90-minute session in collaboration with the Arts Department at Minneapolis Public Schools. We explored what stop-motion animation is, spent time working with the app on both iPads and Chromebooks, and then teachers had time to create their own animations. The session ended with a gallery walk and all videos and the presentation were shared department-wide.

View Slides →This session was the result of three prior 1-hour PD sessions and led to several teachers creating podcast-inspired student projects. Teachers used tools like Vocaroo and Adobe to have students record stories, project descriptions, and interviews for the school's technology showcase night. A real example of PD that lives past the session.
