My name is Beverly Libell. I have taught third grade for eight and a half years. In the 2010-2011 school year I will be teaching grade six. I have been married for eight years to my wonderful husband Matt. We love to ride motorcycle together. We have two beautiful girls, Ryleigh (age six) and Brianna (age three).
My friend and colleague Amber McCabe and I are entering this journey together. Although technology is an amazingly wonderful tool, nothing beats a little moral support from the gal across the hall. Amber and I both are excited about changing education, and under the leadership of Lyn Hilt we have a lot of administrative support to seek change in the classroom. My biggest roadblock this year was using the technology effectively, and communicating with parents the “why’s” behind what I’m doing in the classroom. I love to watch inspirational youtube videos, but can become overwhelmed with the effective application in the classroom setting and have wished on more than one occasion for a teacher’s manual.
There were so many good points in the videos posted, I’m not sure where to start. But I’m excited about expanding my newly discovered PLN and learning more about authentic uses of tech in the classroom. I am equally excited about the implementation of what I learn this summer into my new classroom in the fall.
