Laredo, Texas
I am the Digital Learning Specialist (DLS) at Dr. Leo G. Cigarroa High School. I have been in this position for ten (10) years. I have a B.S. in Secondary Education with a concentration in Chemistry and Mathematics, M.S. in Curriculum & Instruction with a concentration in Instructional Technology, and a M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction. I am a certified Chemistry and Mathematics (6-12) teacher. I was also a certified Master Technology Teacher. I have taught a Nixon High School for eight (8) years, Martin High school for fifteen (15) years, and Cigarroa High School for two (2) years. I am in my thirty-sixth (36) year as an educator. I believe we should all be life-long learners. I also believe in a strong connection between educational strategies and technology. Technology can transform traditional education into new ways of learning by changing the way we solve problems and complete the tasks needed to solve those problems. Technology can also quick the time spend on tasks such as grading and spend more time analyzing the results of that grading to better serve our students by improving their learning and our teaching. I also believe that ever child can learn, just not all children learn the same way. We make our classrooms address multiple intelligences. Technology is one set of tools that help us reach those multiple intelligences in our classrooms. Technology also helps us teach collaboration skills by making team projects more feasible. Working with others is one of the top five workplace skills in the work market today.
