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.

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

- 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.

Michele Thomas said… - 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.
