The purpose of my ePortfolio is to provide a snapshot of my web design and skills, as well as to demonstrate my ability to use a wide variety of digital applications by producing multimedia artifacts for my Designing Integrated Media Environments class.

I am a native born Texan, currently in my 8th year of teaching high school. Before becoming a teacher, I graduated with a Bachelor’s' Degree in History from the University of North Texas. By then, I was a full-time Army wife and mother while my husband was on active duty. After he transferred to the Army Reserves, I pursued a career in education via alternative certification. Currently, I teach 10th grade AP World History and live with my husband and two teenage sons. In my role as campus lead AP World History teacher, I design lessons and assessments to equip our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to earn a passing score on the AP World History Exam. Beyond testing, my goal every year is to instill effective study habits and critical thinking skills in my students which will help them to be successful in future college level courses.

E-Portfolio

This digital portfolio is a reflection of my current web design skills. The artifacts included here represent my progress over the course of several weeks and incorporate many of my personal interests (music and social studies). I have enjoyed the process of relearning html code and expanding on my prior knowledge. I plan to use this ePortfolio as a professional development tool to enhance my own classroom teaching practices.
