A little About this Blog (& Myself)

My name is Dusti (with an I because I am a female).  I am the Proud single, mother of two wonderful boys; Zack (14) and Taylor (11).  To further provide for my sons and to show them the importance of education, I have recently returned to school to complete my Masters Degree.  This Blog is being created as part of the requirements for obtaining that degree.

When I graduated college in 1991 with my Teaching Certificate, computers were just starting to come into existence, and certainly were being used very little in education.  Therefore my teaching fields were Business and Math.  Through the Business Degree I was very fortunate to  move to Technology classes 14 years ago.  I am a digital immigrant and proud of it!!!

I firmly believe we can no longer teach the way we learned (talking about my generation).  Educators must teach with, and completely integrate, technology into their classrooms, lessons, daily lives in order to actively engage today's students.  This is also why I am seeking my Masters.  I want to help/teach teachers how to better utilize technology in their classrooms and lessons.

So join me here as I explore Digital Learners and Learning more this semester.
