GOOGLE CERTIFIED INNOVATOR #SYD17

I found out firsthand how technology enhances instruction, builds curiosity and context, and makes content relevant for today’s kids - specifically in Social Studies classrooms.  I'm on a mission to share this knowledge with other educators so we can 'do' history better. 
​That is what inspired me to pursue a spot in the Google for Education Certified Innovator Program. In the Fall of 2017 I traveled to Sydney, Australia where I joined a cohort of educators from around the globe. 

My history

Poteet high school class of 2002

I grew up in Mesquite, TX attending Kimball Elementary, Kimbrough Middle, and Poteet High School. By the time I graduated high school I had acquired a deep love for Geography and History. That is what inspired me to pursue a degree in education. In the Fall of 2007 I became a Social Studies teacher and coach at my own Kimbrough Middle School. Eight years later I joined our district's Instructional Technology team where I currently serve.
