Connie Davis

I am a Teacher Librarian/Technology Catalyst at a Community School in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I work with all students grades K - 8. The Teacher Librarian part of my job is to collaboratively plan Resource Based Learning Units with Classroom teachers. We then team - teach, differentiating learning, using a variety of means. Our school has approximately 430 students, 40% of them are English Language Learners. The other 50% of my time, I work with the Grades 4 - 6 teachers to bring technology into their classrooms. This includes learning how to use interactive white boards more effectively to engage our students, support learning of ELLs, providing short workshops on software like PhotoStory3, Interactive Classroom, MovieMaker, etc, and supporting professional development. I'm also part of our division's School Tech Rep Committee, bringing the voice of classroom teachers to the division'seducational technology decision making process.

On a personal note, I love to go snowmobiling, living at the lake in the summer, hiking, kickboxing, and reading. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful little boys, 9 and 7, that I'm going to miss desperately while I'm in Washington. I'm looking forward to working and playing with all of you!
