Ivelisse+Brannon

Hello All! I'm Ivelisse Brannon, and I've been teaching in NYC high schools since 2008. I currently teach ELA and AP Language and Composition to 11th and 12th graders at Central Park East High School in East Harlem. This is my third year with the Digital Literacies Collaborative; and being a part of the group has completely transformed my pedagogy. I bring everything I learn with the DLC into my class and my school. Not only has it helped me to overcome my technophobia in the classroom, but I now work with teachers across disciplines in an effort to incorporate digital literacy instruction into all classes.



While I love teaching, my most rewarding job is motherhood. My four-year-old son Darcy is bright, spirited, and very cuddly. He loves to use my PC and tablet to play word and counting games and to make designs with shapes and colors. When I watch him fearlessly explore technology, I'm inspired to be a little more curious and courageous myself.
