Technology Integration in Education

I am currently working toward a 4-8 middle school license and would like to teach language arts and social studies. I have used several resources from Curriki.org and have been very impressed by what I've found! Technology is something of a weak spot with me because I have not been exposed to a great deal outside digital projectors and PowerPoint. I hope to learn more about the resources that are available and how to integrate technology successfully into my classroom.

Anna Batchelder is a Curriki International Consultant and Founder of Bon Education. With experience leading education product development, professional development and programming initiatives for leading companies and academic institutions including the International Society for Technology and Education, Wireless Generation, SchoolNet, Columbia University, Kaplan, the UAE Ministry of Education and ECC Foreign Language Institute (Japan), she is passionate about improving education for all and developing technology solutions that significantly improve learning and access to educational resources.

Anna has hosted numerous workshops on how to incorporate technology tools into the classroom across the Middle East, North America and Caribbean. She is author of the blog Literacy is Priceless and works with Curriki on numerous community building and international initiatives.

Anna holds an MA in Comparative and International Education from Columbia University, Teachers College, a BA in Economics from the College of William and Mary and is a former English teacher (Osaka, Japan).

As an education major, I am interested in learning as much as I can about effectively incorporating technology into my future English and Spanish high school classrooms.

I am an elementary school librarian in North Carolina.
