All About Me: I am a teacher at James E. Duckworth School. I have worked for Prince George's County Public Schools for 16 years. However, I had a 17 year gap between years 6 and 7 during which time I raised three children who are graduates of Prince George's County Public Schools. I currently teach students aged 11-14 with multiple disabilities. Although I am relatively new to the "technology scene", I enjoy using technology with my students so that my lessons become more accessable to them.

Identify three goals: 1. Increase my knowledge of and ability to use technology in the classroom. 2. Learn ways to make technology more accessible to students with severe disabilities. 3. Become more familiar with ways to interact with other teachers online.
