As a teacher of students with a wide variety of needs and interests, I'm always eager to learn about ways I can use technology to interest and engage my students. I am anxious to learn more about South Dakota's e-brary system, since I have recently moved here. I have been using some systems in Alaska, including those at the University of Alaska, and I recently completed an educational technology course.

Technology has opened up all sorts of possibilities for students in the areas of research, reading, and writing, which is where I usually teach, but I have also learned a lot about history, science and mathematics topics. This is where I hope to help students find areas of their own interests, but also to introduce them to new topics. Additionally, I love using the SMART board and e-portfolios, so I hope to combine these areas with what we will learn in this Library Challenge.
