Sorry for not posting in a couple of days. Things have been busy. Anyways last Wednesday I was nominated for an award in the Shenandoah Valley for innovation in K-12. The link to the founders as well as narratives of my nomination can be found: http://www.svtc-va.org/v.php?pg=3
I was selected as the winner in this category and it has been an exciting time since. My school district has won this category 3 times in 3 years, in which 1 teacher from each middle school has won.
Reflecting back on the event, the award was to recognize the hard work put into an app designed specifically for my students, but I also see it as a sign to continue to pursue my dreams in technology and education. I truly do feel that today's generation of students are so familiar with technology that as an educator, it is our job to teach to their medium. I intend to consistently update my app, WileD Math, as well as consider producing additional apps to be used in the school systems.
A special thanks to Verizon for being the sponsor of my award and a thanks to the technology council for their time and dedication to making this event.
