Integrating Technology into Middle School Chemistry Curriculum
Introduction Realizing I was a lifelong learner is how I ended up in education. I thoroughly enjoy learning new things and having a career in which every day is a new day. My journey in education started with a focus in elementary education. Only when I got my first job teaching 5th grade science did I find my passion in a specific subject area. Being a content specialist is not something I had planned on, but once I got a job teaching 7th and 8th grade science I realized I was a content specialist. This led to me continuing my education and beginning work on my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Science. Now I am the head of the Science Department for my District and hope to help other teachers develop creative science curriculum for students. Teaching science is my passion, and my hope is to share the excitement and adventure that comes from teaching science.
