I enjoy using innovative and creative ways to engage my students, to provide more interactive lessons for them and also to have ways to assess them. Learning about edtech and tools available is something I enjoy so that I can provide more opportunities for my students but also so that I can have as much knowledge as possible for when I present at conferences.
