Mary Howard

As a sixth grade teacher at Veronica E. Connor Middle School Mary teaches ELA and Social Studies and is an ABSOLUTE technophile! She can often be caught buried in Edmodo, Augmented Reality, Twitter, OpenSim platforms, awesome apps, Web 2.0 tools or simply chasing a tech rabbit down a hole in an attempt to learn some new and exciting way to integrate technology into her classroom. She has presented at many conferences and district technology development days including: NYSCATE, Digital Wave, CIT, NETT, NYSSMA, and NFRA and has also participated in some excellent technology grants including CSLO projects and EETT through Erie 1 Boces. In 2013, her article on integrating technology with the socratic seminar was published in the In Transitions magazine. In 2014 she was selected as the NYSCATE Lee M. Bryant Outstanding Technology Teacher of the year. Just recently her Heir of the King - Epic Adventures was published in AMLE Magazine. Many of her technology musings, recommendations and experiences are illustrated in her outstanding blog: yoursmarticles.blogspot.com.
