Welcome to my professional site that includes valuable information for librarians also visit my school site for Oakland Elementary

This site contains information on my professional interests including: information literacy, collaboration, technology integration, character/ethical education, global awareness, and project based learning.

My school library has recently been evaluated by the Colorado Department of Education's Title I Team. In their independent review students indicated that the library is a warm and inviting space where they love to go. Students and parents surveyed found the library to be one of their favorite places in Oakland. We have also applied for Developing Power Library status and we are now a Developing Power Library!

Last November I received a scholarship to attend the T+L2 conference in Denver. The T+L2 (Technology plus Learning Squared) offered more concrete examples of interated technology lessons as well as powerful tools to faciliate learning. Last summer I attended two conferences, TIE (Technology in Education) June 28-July 1st conferences and NCEE/ISTE June 18 - June 23 conference in New Orleans. I have been recognized by my school as one of Denver's "Mile High Teachers". I have also been awarded a grant by the Public Education and Business Coalition's "Teacher's Fund" to visit India last summer and establish and International Pen Pal program using multimedia, technology, and good old letter writing with an elementary school there.
