I am a third grade teacher at Snyder Elementary and have been teaching for twenty-eight years.  I love my job and the people I work with. They are a great bunch! I live in Athens with my husband Ric and our two cats. I have a daughter Ashley and a son Cody. Ashley is a grad student at Xavier in Cincinnatti, and Cody attends I U P in Indiana, Pa. I enjoy spending time cooking and gardening and reading.

Course assignments  

Pod cast :    My group, Andy Watkins, Colleen Hanafin, Matt Viselli, Sue Van Allen, Greg DeHaan and myself created a podcast on the Water Cycle. This would enhance the learning stages of the water cycle.

Power Point : I am a little confused on how to put together a power point presentation at this time, but think that it is something that if used more would get the hang of it. I feel it could be very useful tool in the classroom, especially in our science and social studies curriculum.I would use power point to teach about the Hopi Indians and other tribes.

Inspiration:  I would use inspiration with prewriting Christmas stories with my students. They have been doing writings and reports and this could be used to review language mechanics.

Virtual Technology:  I use United Streaming as one virtual tour site, it enhances our reading themes in our reading series. Webcams are useful for science and social studies.
