About Me

Hello! I’m Nadya Lorick. I am an elementary educator with four years of experience navigating the exciting world of educational technology. Like many of you, my journey began with a significant shift as technology took center stage during the COVID-19 pandemic. I remember my student teaching days, where I adapted to virtual classrooms and helped second graders engage in learning through their Chromebooks.

As we moved from remote learning to blended environments, I witnessed firsthand how essential technology has become in enhancing classroom management, lesson presentation, and communication with parents. With new expectations from school districts, it’s crucial for educators to effectively integrate these tools into their teaching.

That’s where this Technology Toolkit comes in! This website is designed to be your go-to resource for K-5 educational technology. Whether you’re looking for websites, applications, games, or virtual learning experiences, you’ll find a curated selection of up-to-date tools to elevate your classroom instruction and engage your students.

Together, we can bridge the gap between traditional teaching methods and the innovative technologies available today. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and resources you need to make technology a valuable ally in achieving academic excellence.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to enhance K-5 education through the strategic use of technology. Let’s explore, learn, and grow together!
