Short bio or reason for joining Actionable Innovations Global:

I have taught at Lincoln Elementary since 2001. In my teaching career, I have had the blessing of teaching at every grade level from pre-K to 6th in places as varied as the Navajo Nation, Texas, Ecuador, Kenya and Indonesia. I am proud Texan who loves living and working in beautiful Washington. I hold a Masters Degree in Education with an English as a Second Language and a Social Studies Endorsement. I love trying out new techniques and technology in my classroom. I consider myself a bit of a technogeek. Travel is a passion for me. I have traveled extensively on 6 continents and have lived and worked on 4. I am currently a member of the Discovery Educators Network, contributing lessons and ideas on the Discovery Channel. I just returned from a week of training at the Discovery National Institute where we worked on movie making, podcasting and learned about lots of Web 2.0 programs including Ning. I also serve as a volunteer regional educator resource for Heifer International, an organization that works with sustainable development around the world. I am the recipient of two technology grants. One of which, I hope the Ning community can help with. I am looking for 5th and 6th grade teachers interested in collaborating on an interactive, technology rich math project. My husband and I enjoy walking our giant mutt Roswell, going on roadtrips, camping, gardening and restoring and renovating our100 year old home in Mount Vernon.
