I attended the Logo Institute as a classroom teacher in the
early 90’s. My first project was an interactive alphabet book
programmed in MicroWorlds for my Kindergarten students at the
Spence School. From that point on I was hooked! I looked for
every professional development opportunity to learn and grow
with the emerging technology.
I am currently a STEAM teacher in the Lower School at Spence.
Our curriculum fosters innovative, flexible and creative
thinkers by engaging students in activities that require
creativity, design, experimentation, problem solving and
collaboration. I teach programming and robotics to students in
grades 2-4 using Scratch, MicroWorlds, LEGO WeDo and LEGO
Mindstorms EV3. Some of my favorite projects include physical
computing with MaKey Makey and micro:bit and converting
student’s 2D images into 3D objects.
