Hi! I'm Barbara Hosmer, and I teach elementary technology. I've been with WMAES for 16 years, first teaching Spanish and now teaching our kids to use their technology safely and efficiently. We have a lot of fun learning to use our devices safely and linking our activities to the environment. We also enjoy 'Take a Walk Wednesday' each week to just get outside and get in touch with nature!
