Tech Award Winner

“I’ve always believed in the the power of integrating technology. It empowers our students to be leaders of their own learning and see themselves as members of a community beyond the four walls of their classroom. Empowered students see the world differently. They become creative thinkers, creators, and problem solvers. It was technology that leveled the playing field so every one of my students could be successful, empowered leaders.”
