An electronic portfolio is designed to showcase what the individual has accomplished. I created this site to accomplish that task. Take a quick tour of training videos, background and my interactive resume. Being an educator is exciting; every day there are new challenges to address and a variety of ways to impact others. I have certainly been successful at times and other times, I have to reevaluate and decide how to improve the instruction.
As an elementary teacher, I implement a set of ‘tools’ in my teaching strategies that I continue to refine and improve. From Glogster, Prezi, Animoto to productivity tools such as OneNote, Outlook and more. As a counselor, I learned to listen and meet the needs of the individual student. As a librarian, I learned to critically evaluate, process and harvest information. As an assessment coordinator, I learned the importance of data to drive instruction. As a technology integration specialist, I continue to find innovative and creative strategies to teach using a progressive and dynamic pedagogy.
Feel free to browse this site and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. If this site helps you to come up with some new teaching ideas, then I would commend you for continuing to grow as an educator. Share your ideas with others! A Professional Learning Community of collaboration is a perfect way to support each other in our mission. It may help another teacher to connect with a child!~Velma Davis
