I once read, “It is a beautiful thing when a career and a passion come together.” That...is how this website came to be. As a trained elementary teacher, I fell in love with technology years ago during graduate school. I realized it engaged all of my students, but motivated my struggling students while challenging the advanced. It not only made student engagement soar, but made my teacher duties more effective and efficient. It intrigued me, so I began to pursue it and all of the ideas that surrounded it. I have learned that most teachers WANT to use technology in their classroom. They know that their students love it...and even need it... but a long list of daily classroom demands prevent them from finding the time to search for technology ideas for the classroom. The goal of this website is to fill the gap between the “want to” of the teacher and the “time to make it happen” by providing ideas of how you can easily incorporate technology into the content areas across the curriculum. I hope you find Teachers Tech Academy fills that need for you.

My name is Janet Burnett. I am an educator, technology innovation specialist, presenter, wife, and mother. I love teaching, but technology is my passion. This is my 25th year in education. I have taught third grade, fifth grade, Title I Reading and Math intervention classes, and weekly elementary technology classes for grades 3-6. It is my experience that I have gained in these roles that is the key component needed to recognize how certain tech tools will mesh perfectly with the content standards of the curriculum. I currently work with K-5 teachers to help them integrate technology into daily lessons and offer professional development for K-12 teachers in my school district. I am also an adjunct instructor at the University of North Alabama where I teach Instructional technology courses for elementary education majors. The latest and greatest technology tools keep my mind spinning, so I love to collaborate with other educators across the U.S. as I share ideas through technology professional development.
