Hi, I'm Cathy, your Tech Integration Coach. I have designed the LES Tech Hub to provide teachers with access techology resources that support the integration of technology into teaching and learning in the classroom. You will find a wide variety of digital tools and resources that can be used to enhance collaboration and engagement. By collaborating with the Technology Integration Coach, you will have the opportunity to co-plan, co-create, and co-teach in a supportive environment. Not only is it fun to work together, but sharing the workload will save you time and give you the chance to try some new things.
I have been an educator since 1987. I received my undergraduate degree from UCLA, teaching certification from Chapman University, and Master's in Education Administration from Fresno Pacific University, all in California. I did advanced work in Educational Technology at Walden University supplemented by self-studies through PLC's, online webinars, and lots of social media affiliations.
I have always been passionate about integrating technology into my educational settings, which range from teaching grades K-2, 4, FLES, Italian Immersion, Spanish Immersion, Middle School Tech Apps, and administration at both the school and district levels. One of the most important things to keep in mind when integrating technology is GOOD TEACHING FIRST, TECHNOLOGY NEXT. Technology can powerfully enhance lessons that are already grounded in sound pedagogy.
