In the fall I am going to start working again as an educational technology teacher. For the last nine years I have stayed at home with my four children, which gave me experiential knowledge that I would never trade. My youngest are three year old twins and old enough to start school. I will be working at St. John’s Lutheran School in Chicago where my four children attend. I have experience using Web 2.0 tools socially such as Facebook, skype, and have tried wikis, blogs in order to stay up to date on technology tools. I feel very comfortable learning new tools and always looking for new ones to use in the classroom. 

This summer we have been busy getting our home in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood ready to sell and looking for a house on the northside of Chicago. So we have been doing a lot of staycations in the city. I am really excited about this class and hope to get some ideas to use in my classroom this year.
