Hi,
My name is Tamara and I have been teaching grades 1-6 for over 12 years, while also serving as a district Technology Coach. I am very passionate about technology and am eager to learn about and discuss some new, innovative emerging technologies.
I live in Edmonton, Alberta with my husband and my two daughters- aged 2 & 7. Since having children, I have worked part time as a Makerspace/ Technology teacher, and, for the past two years, as a French as a second language instructor.
Currently in my spare time, I take care of my crazy toddler (who gets into all kinds of trouble!) and help/teach my daughter her online learning program (grade 2). She is registered in French immersion, but since CO-VID and online learning, she has had no language instruction, so I am supplementing that French learning on my own at home (reading, writing, vocab).
I am looking forward to learning with all of you!
Hi Tamara,
Nice to meet you! It’s amazing that you are working and caring/teaching your kids. Looking forward to learning with you!
Hi Tamara,
Sounds like you are doing some interesting work, and those two little girls of yours are adorable. I am curious, are you back in the classroom this Autumn or will your teaching be online?
I am back in the classroom this fall. Which I was a bit disappointed about at first, but after seeing the students and teaching them the first week, it has been really great to be back 🙂 Their positive energy is contagious, and despite all the changes and protocols in place, they are still so happy to be there and so eager to learn!
That is good to hear. Stay safe!
HI Tamara,
I’m a french immersion teacher for K-1, so let me know if you ever need any more resources! I really like Je Lis for leveled reading (there are audio books that read french out loud).
I also like Math IXL for online learning, although it is not in French.
