My name is Amanda Madden and I'm the Technology Integration Specialist at Bell's Crossing Elementary. Before becoming the Tech Specialist, I taught 2nd grade in Greenville County for 20 years. During that time, I also taught over 100 hours of technology workshops for the district. While my passion is teaching, I'm also very interested in all things techy and design.

I am a product of Greenville County Schools myself (Blythe Academy, Hughes Academy, and the IB program at Southside High School) and a graduate of The University of South Carolina and Columbia College. Outside of work, I can often be found at home with my dogs, at a football game (Go Cocks!) or at a concert with my husband - or trying to find a brave friend who likes an adrenaline rush as much as I do.

It is my hope that this site will be a resource to you this year in providing tech tips or great apps, programs, and websites to use inside or outside of the classroom. Let me know how I can help you and your family.
