I am a 9-12 Spanish Teacher, Mother of 2 children and Wife of a computer programmer. I teach in Van Meter Iowa, a small school with a lot of possibilities. In Fall 2009, the district took on a 1:1 lap top initiative all students grades 7-12 have lap tops. I am now almost more of a "geek" than my husband! As a teacher I am constantly having to learn new tools so that I can reach different students in different ways. I am still a teacher, and my old ways still work, but I have just added new tricks to my bag!
