About Me

I am a JH Language Arts teacher at Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, GA. This is my 24th year teaching. I also support teachers in grades K-12 with technology integration. My motto: Education is not something done to a student but rather something a student does. I believe that school should be active not passive and that students should take ownership of their learning.
