I have been an educator for 17 years and am currently a 6th-grade teacher. I have a great passion for technology and music and I love bringing both into the classroom.

This channel is meant to share frequent short tips on how to bring technology into the classroom and to support the Nerded Out Blog. It will feature new products and software to make your teaching job easier, more fun, more meaningful for your students...you get the idea.

This blog will also call you to reflect as a teacher. It will challenge the status quo and have you question your actions and philosophies.

My goal is to inspire you, awaken or enliven your creativity, and give you direction and help in our ever-changing teaching and technology-driven world. My gifts are not your gifts, and I want you to embrace your gifts and share them with your students.

Will you get nerded out to help your students succeed?

Let's do this!
