I have been a registered nurse for more years than I want to admit. I am a mother of two; both who have graduated from college and working in the field of art and advertisement. My hobbies include reading, hiking in the woods, and I am a movie head - love movies.

I have worked in the hospital as a pediatric nurse for several years before starting my career as a school nurse in Springfield, NJ. My passion has always been to work with children. I have my BSN from University of Delaware, my school nurse certification from The College of New Jersey, and my MS in Community Health Education from New Jersey City University.

This is my 7th RTC course, and I plan to take the Personality Course in the Fall, and the Motivation Course in the Spring, which will complete my masters plus 30 credits.

By participating in this course, I hope to broaden my options for using technology in the health classroom supported by the framework of UDL.

Specific Goals for the course: ( ongoing list)

5 new technologies to try:

 * Wordles
 * Readability
 * Rubistar
 * Flip camera video
 * Delicious
 * Prezi

4 ideas to share with others:

 * The UDL philosophy
 * blogs and wikis
 * website tools for text to speech
 * technology based graphic organizers and assessment tools

Enable students to:

 * Recognize learning via multiple means of exposure to the content including technologies
 * Master strategies to demonstrate what they know by offering multiple options of expression
 * Connect with the learning process by offering multiple options for engagement

2 changes in your teaching to reach all learners in the Digital Age:

 * use web-based exposure to information, sharing of ideas, and assessment tools
 * provide multiple options for representation, expression, and engagement for students

1 BIG idea to implement “on Monday”:
I would like integrate technology-based UDL approaches within my first health lesson scheduled and share my approaches with the other grades 3-5 health teachers (other nurses and P.E. teachers in the district). As a group we can collaborate on other UDL applications using technology within the health curriculum.
