Welcome to the Learning Together Blog. I am the Educational Technology Specialist for the School District of Rhinelander. I have been teaching for 20 years with 9 years in an elementary classroom and the last 11 years in this current position. My role in this district is to provide technology staff development and support as teachers integrate technology tools and software in their classroom. My goal is to encourage teachers to use technology as a tool as they bring 21st Century Skills into their classrooms.

On this blog I will be posting ideas, tips and strategies throughout the year and I encourage you to comment and share your ideas as well. In the 21st Century the need to collaborate, communicate, think critically and problem solve is vital and before we expect our students to use these skills, we as educators need to practice them as well.

I invite you to read, comment and participate as we learn together!
