This summer I finished my two year commitment with Teach for America at a school in Connecticut. I speak Japanese and the pride of my two years was my work on Jepson's Multicultural Days, where we created "country rooms" with interactive and immersive cultural activities for grades P-8. I am committed to reforming rural schools, such as my high school, and seeing an improvement in the educational equity of all schools in the U.S. My dream is to provide quality, engaging stories, cross cultural learning experiences, and media for intelligent play in order to enrich children and adolescents, as well as their teachers. I currently substitute teach in the Central Ohio area, with a special love of multiage MRDD/MH/MD classrooms (including PreK), foreign language, creative writing, and ESL. I am looking for a full-time teaching position in an independent or charter school for Fall 2009. I also enjoy reading, writing, art, gardening, cooking, and scrapbooking. I own a beloved ferret, named Paulie, and two gerbils (Ebony and Amalthea).

With your interest in Instructional Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Ohio.
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
