About This Blog
This blog hosts posts from my time as an ES Technology & Learning Coach and my classroom blog posts from Grades 3 and 5. I’ve deliberately kept these separate from my personal blog so that you can see how I used a blog to communicate with students and parents and as a resource for other classroom teachers. Hope you find something useful here!
