I'm a K-5 art teacher with a K-12 tech integration masters. I love to integrate technology in creative and innovative ways to expand my curriculum and extend learning from physical art to digital art. My ideas can translate into any curricular area to energize your lessons, expand your curriculum, and help your students demonstrate their knowledge dynamically.
