My Students

I work at a wonderful school in Seattle. We are nestled between the Central District and the Lake Washington neighborhoods. We offer Montessori Math instruction as well as rigorous ELA classes. Our students include families that have lived in the neighborhood for generations as well as families that are new to our country. We bring together a variety of cultures and backgrounds through hard work and love.

I have the privilege of working with every student in the school and I don't want to waste a minute of teaching time!

I am the school librarian and the technology teacher. It is the best of all worlds. Books and bots all day long. So now, I need to make the most of this time.

I want to keep things fresh and the interest high so I am constantly striving to present the students with new experiences that will foster their love of technology, literature, and learning. Sometimes I need help with that.

My Project

I teach technology to grades K-5. I have a fine computer lab but it is much more exciting and effective teaching to give the students a chance to get their faces away from the screens and start the robotics!

It is hard to find good coding materials for the younger students and those with developmental disabilities.

I have worked with BeeBots with the lower grades and with some of our Special Education students and we are ready for the next step. Botley the Coding Robot is the perfect transition. It allows students to code simple or complex directions for the bots to follow. They can make tasks that involve line following and looping, with or without obstacles.

These are devices that will be accessible to many of the students that have difficulty accessing coding and have been feeling left out. Coding and robotics should be for everyone. They are also very durable and fun!
