Hello Everyone! My name is Latoya Adams and I have been teaching for 4 years. In that short time, I have taught grades 2 through 4 but am currently teaching 2nd grade. I find that I enjoy teaching 4th grade because of their independence and my ability to create more challenging projects for them especially through technology. I am definitely excited about learning all these new things in technology that I can take back to my classroom and use instantly or in the next school year.

Hello, my name is Traci Kitchens and I teach Special Education in a collaborative setting to students in grades Kinder through 5th grade. I love what I do and those I teach and work with.

Hello everybody, my name is Yvonne Morris and I have been teaching with Prince George's County Public Schools in Maryland since 2003. This is my 3rd year of teaching 1st grade and I am loving it. It just reminds me of teaching 1st grade back in my home country many, many, many years ago and it certainly was the best class to teach. I have also taught Special Education grades K through 6th, then I have taught General Education in grades 3 and 4. I am just eager to learn more and more about all these technological tools and then apply them, or at least some of them in my classroom.
