Hi All, I am so excited to be here. Digital writing and its incorporation is a priority for me as I realize its importance in today's education. Soon to turn six decades old, I am a true digital immigrant, and if I can give up the traditional mode of learning that I had, and see the importance of today's multiliteracies, then other can, too. I am not afraid to take risks and encourage my students to take them as well. It is through the taking of risks and trial and error that we learn the most.

I am still a fledgling learner and understand the importance of practice. We need to allow our students to practice and learn. I enjoy blogging and am blogging my way through the dissertation process-#dissertation bacon hashtag sizzle and blog as often as I can on Digitalis. Following many, I am involved with #6connect a nation wide Twitter connect initiative connecting sixth-grade classrooms.

When I am not teaching, I, too, bake and collect things-too many to count. I look forward to this year.
