Introduction

//Hello Everyone!!!// I am currently employed as an eighth grade Reading Language Arts Teacher at Walker Mill Middle School. My passions include ALL art related activities where self-expression is stressed: fine art, modeling, poetry writing, phtography, basic design, etc. My goals in life include obtaining an Art Degree and focusing all my time on molding young artists. I have created a social network (changingilusionz.ning.com) for my students of the past three years where they know they can always come to comment on positive blogs, ask education centered questions, create and publish poetry, as well as watch videos linked to the curriculum.

__A few goals that I would love to accomplish this year with the STEP includes:__ 1) Become more proficient videotaping and publishing to the web. 2) Train my students with the new technology so that they can beome more savvy with the way they present their information in the classrooms. 3) Open up the technological advances that my students experience to more of the student population in the school building.
