Nice to have you return to the site, and I think you've hit the developmental nail on the head; there's so much out there in the realm of technology that (1) you really have to start slow and take things one at a time, and (2) you have to find somet…

A Nice Return...

It has been an awfully long time since I managed this blog. So much has changed (for the better) in the world in terms of technology and I thought it was a good time to make a return.

I am blessed to be a teacher with Detroit Public Schools despite of the news reports and various goings-on. Even more, I am blessed to be a participant in many of the technology workshops provided by DPS to strengthen those teachers who desire to integrate technology in their respective buildings.

When I first es… Continue

Credit Where Credit is Due

I'm back in school now, taking classes towards the State of Michigan Ed Tech Endorsement at UMich-Dearborn. I never thought that I would have a Maize and Blue student ID card, having spent the bulk of my time at Wayne State U for both my BA and M.Ed degrees in Education.

Wayne State's Instructional Technology program, combined with what I am currently learning as a UMich-Dearborn student has really allowed me to grow in terms of my technology skills. You will always have someone who wan… Continue

A Fresh Perspective

Greetings to all:

Since this is my first blog on MACUL Space, I just want to thank God for the opportunity to share my opinions, views, and thoughts about Educational Technology and how I am using it as a teacher with Detroit Public Schools.


  • I have been teaching for six years in a variety of positions: Homeroom, Science, and Computer Applications.



  • This year, I am teaching both Computer Applications and 5th grade Science.

Hey Erica,

I could use your help. I just transferred from middle school to K-5 technology. Can you suggest any free online resources you find effective with the kdg and 1st graders ? Their mouse skills are low and other than the website starfall I'm at a loss for what to do. Any help you can provide is appreciated :-)

Yes it is, I've made a lot of friends and professional contacts while in the WSU program. I've learned so much in the courses. Hopefully we can use what we know to move our district forward in the use of technology. Cute avatar, I'm a fellow greek as well. DST , Nu chapter UM-Ann Arbor.

You'll love wearing the Maize and Blue ! I went there for undergrad and just received my Ed Specialist in Instructional Technology at your alma mater Wayne State. I teach Technology at Durfee K-8. Hopefully we can do some networking with technology in the district.

Nice tunes! I love the boombox and everything; had to unplug my computer's speakers and plug into my stereo in the classroom before the kids showed up!

Hi Erica,
Wow, I have never seen the website you used to create the music on you page! Wow, and wow again. I am a special education teacher with Lansing and each day, all day, I am listening to gospel music to help me stay focused. Oh no you didn't! "Ain't no stopping us now! My other theme song.
Have a blessed year.
Michele
