I am currently an Instructional Technology Resource Teacher (ITRT) for two elementary schools in Winchester, Virginia, United States.  Prior to this position, I served as an elementary school librarian for five years, a third grade teacher for five years, and a special education inclusion teacher for second and fifth grade.

This is my first year using iEARN.  My students and I have enjoyed making connections with students from other countries, including China, Scotland, Russia, and Moldova.
