]]>During my 25 years of teaching in the math classroom, I’ve found that experienced teachers face unique challenges and are sometimes left feeling under-appreciated and unsupported. During the spring of 2018, I was accepted into the Google Innovator Academy and attended in July of 2018. There I learned I could create a project that would have a positive impact in education. This teacher support group grew out of that summer work and is now a part of my Google Innovator Project. I am passionate about teaching students, but I also understand how important it is for teachers to feel acknowledged and valued for the work they do. My Innovator Project website provides resources if you wish to replicate this teacher support group on your own campus or district.

For my Innovator Project, I personally invited teachers to become part of a special group of experienced teachers who want to work collaboratively to explore solutions to unique challenges we face inside and outside of the classroom, in a supportive & understanding environment.
WHAT do participants gain?
WHAT takes place during the once a month meetings?
Check out my Innovator Project Website for all the details and resources. If you have any questions please use this contact form, I’m happy to help!

]]>It’s really fun to get a message from a friend now and then that mentions they saw my face on the Desmos website. They tell their students, “I know her!”
Proud to see my tweet featured on the @Desmos website. Amusing though to have colleagues from all over U.S. message me to say they saw my picture when they were doing a #desmos activity with their students! #iteachmath #edtech pic.twitter.com/fT4qZomWRC

Over the last few years, I’ve used desmos.com to introduce math topics, dive deeper into math topics, and just have some fun with math. Here is a collection of some of my Desmos related tweets that start in 2015.
Thank you to @Desmos for your awesome & engaging Classroom Activities. My Alg2 students didn’t want to stop playing! #mathchat #edtech

Happy Mathematical #Valentines! https://t.co/3DLXixn3sP
These Math-o-grams by @Desmos are adorable & genius.#MTBoS #math #mathchat— Lisa Ceja

I was impressed by the creativity shown by my students who solved this same #Marbleslides #Desmos Challenge 3 unique ways. Very happy to see them really embrace being challenged.
Thanks @Desmos, this really beats a boring graphing lines worksheet.

Great question, I can honestly say I have not asked myself that specific question, but I can tell you that the days of asking them to graph using a table of values happens only once, then I expect them to use technology (@Desmos ) or transformations on the parent graph.

Seeing some of my favorite Desmos tweets all in one place makes me realize the impact this tool has on my teaching. My students know this is a tool they can access anytime from any of their devices. What makes me most happy is that this tool is FREE. This makes for a very happy math teacher and her students!

]]>
I recently came across some old photos from my first year of teaching. I started in September of 1994 and it is now 2016. Go ahead and do the math. This photo was taken in June of 1995 at the end of my first year and I can see that I am signing yearbooks. I have n
o idea where these students are now but I pray they are well and happy. What I do know is how much all my students taught me that year. I am hopeful that they learned some math that year amidst all the craziness from a very young, but very excited teacher. You can see I’m smiling in this photo, and am still smiling over 20 years later.
I continue to work for the same amazing district and am in love with my job and my students. I immerse myself completely in whatever I am passionate about. And right now EdTech has revamped my classroom and continues to “Wow” me every day. My PLN (Professional Learning Network) has encouraged me to start a blog to share my learning and discovery along the way. This is why I named this blog “Exploring the TECH in TEaCHer” to honor that TECH is a part of TEaCHer and every day is an exploration for me of how the two connect.
I look forward to sharing my past, present, and future experiences so that I might help others maybe a bit of a fraction that the beautiful & helpful world of my PLN and other Bloggers have generously helped me.
