Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n
I have to say until the MET program I was a very non-techy person. I did not naturally gravitate towards technology and spent most of my career doing what I always did.<\/p>\n
Suddenly I realized I needed to change how I ran my classroom and my teaching strategies. I explored options and interests and luckily found MET. The program has invigorated my teaching, planning and learning. It was the catalyst I needed to be excited again.<\/p>\n
The courses I have taken and the other students I have met and worked with have taken me on a journey beyond my wildest dreams. Who knew I would become the person obsessed with digital story telling, social media in the classroom and most importantly makerspaces.<\/p>\n
The project I am currently most proud of was the creation of the website makerspaceforeducation.com with Trish Roffey and Janelle Therien. I am excited to add new content and update with blogs (although not as regularly as I \u00a0would like). MET has been a game changer for me and I look forward to this course with eager anticipation.<\/p>\n
