= Welcome Group 3 Learning Community! =

About Us:
|| I am in my 11th year of teaching. I am currently the Graduation Coach at Southwest Guilford High School in High Point, NC. I work with students who are off track to graduate with the students they entered 9th grade with. I review transcripts, make home visits, schedule parent conferences, and write graduation plans. I also manage the online learning lab where students take previously failed courses to recover the credit. I have been married for 14 years and have two wonderful boys. I enjoy playing golf when I am not coaching my sons youth teams. || || I have worked for Cincinnati Public Schools for the last six years. I am a foreign language teacher and have worked every grade from k-12 in the past six years. I am currently working as a 7th grade Latin teacher and Spanish for grades 9-12. I love to incorporate technology when teaching my students because it allows them to learn a new language in a manner in which they are more comfortable. I am happily married and have four dogs, two which live with me and my wife and two who live with my parents because my wife is allergic to my other dogs. I, like Laura, am an avid gamer on the XBox 360 playing on the weekends with current and former students. They seem to enjoy to lose to me in playing NCAA football and Black Ops. ||
 * =Kimberly Parks= || For the past 14 years, I have been a special education teacher within a resource setting, until this year where I am the 4th grade co-teacher. I love co-teaching! My Walden adventure has helped me blossom with my technology skills in which I have become very adept. In fact, my daughter swims competitively and the team manager asked if I would be the technology person. Also, I have volunteered to create a technology class for the senior facility my grandmother has just joined. I have 2 wonderful children, Madison-14 and Paxton-6 that I adore and relish every second with them! ||

|| I currently teach a multimedia course for grades 9-12. My students get to create all kinds of multimedia projects-- videos, music, digital images, web sites and digital presentations. I have a 2.5 year old daughter named Allison. Anything that has to do with technology I love. I am an avid gamer--favorites being Halo, Gears of War, and Call of Duty. || || I am an 8th grade homeroom teacher at First Lutheran School of Torrance, CA. I teach Middle School Language Arts (7th and 8th grade), 8B Religion, and Middle School Art.
 * =Sadie Rodgers= || I have been teaching for five years. My first year teaching was at Fairfield Central High School in Fairfield County. I have been in Lexington District II for the past four years. The first two years in this district I taught at Brookland Cayce High School until budgets were cut two years ago and I was transferred to Airport High School. I have two beautiful daughters and a husband who loves me very much. In my classroom I love to try new things. I am always looking for the newest in technology to include it in my classroom and that is what lead me to this degree choice. I can’t wait to see what I can do with my students in the future. ||

This year marks the seventh year that I have been teaching Language Arts at First Lutheran School. I received my B.A. Degree in Literature and my Single-subject Teaching Credential from California State University Dominguez Hills ([]). I am currently working towards an M.S. in Education (Integrating Technology in the Classroom) degree from Walden University ([]). If all goes well, I plan to continue on towards a PhD in Education (Technology) at Walden University soon after. ||

|| I teach 9th and 10th grade English/Language Arts in NY state. This is my first year teaching in NY; prior to that, I taught 9th-11th grade in New Jersey in my former high school. I enjoy the challenge of incorporating technology into my lessons in meaningful and creative ways. I love the outdoors, traveling, and sports, and I am an avid reader. I am also a HUGE Mets fan, looking forward to the start of a new season! || || I graduated from Rider University and received a degree in Education with a second major in Journalism. I have been teaching for five years and currently teach fifth grade English. I am enrolled in a Masters Degree program through Walden University majoring in "Integrating Technology in the Classroom" in hopes of finding new ways to incorporate technology into my classroom. ||
 * =Kelly Sell= || I am an eighth-grade teacher of reading and language arts. This is my fifth year teaching and my third at the school I attended as a student many years ago. I enjoy integrating technology into my classes and do so as often as possible; I love to see the creativity that 21st-century tools can inspire in my kids. My main concern with technology is the digital divide I see developing between the students who have easy access to the Internet and those who do not. My perfect world includes high-speed access for all! ||
