About+Me

====I have been in the Springville Elementary Computer lab since the 2002-2003 school year. It has been the greatest job in the world! Technology is forever changing, and it’s a challenge to try to keep up with it. Every year brings new ideas to try in the lab, which keeps student interest up. I am continually amazed at the new, improved ways of doing things. ====

====I’ve not always been in the computer lab. I taught grades K-3 in the regular classroom in Georgia and Alabama. I graduated from Auburn University (B.S. in Early Childhood Education) in 1979 and Georgia Southwestern University (M.S. in Early Childhood Education) in 1984. I began teaching in 1980 in Georgia and moved to Alabama in the fall of 1986. ====

====On the other pages, you will find links to things going on in my lab as well as in the school. I currently see all grades K-5 every other week, so creating and posting projects is a slow process. I will try to showcase what we are doing at least once this year per grade level. You can find past projects in the archives. ====

====This year is my last. I am retiring June 1, 2015 after 34 years of teaching. I can honestly say I've enjoyed my career. I hope to stay in contact with children through my other love--Zumba®. I am teaching Zumba® Kids to afterschool care students, and I hope I can continue that as long as my old bones will let me! I also plan to spend time with my children and grandchildren. ====
