Technology

Through this Google site, I wanted to exhibit my ease with using technology especially in the Google suite of products.  I have been a personal Google user for years, and I was a part of the Google migration at St. John's.  I offered professional development sessions on Gmail and Google Forms.  I really enjoy showing teachers neat tools and shortcuts that I have found that might be useful in their classrooms.  At St. John's, I was a part of the Technology Team. I attended weekly meetings where I was the liaison between technology and all three libraries. My technical responsibilities included maintaining the library online public access catalog (OPAC) as well as the eBook fiction library through Overdrive.  I also helped teachers on a daily basis trouble shoot technology problems in the absence of the campus technologist. Mostly I handled software issues, but often I would help with printers and projectors.

During my last semester at St. John's, I was involved in the planning of a Makerspace called the MavLab that opened this school year.  I am still very much invested in the ideas behind Makerspaces.  Please look at the Google Slideshow below to see more about my involvement in Makerspaces.
