I began teaching Visual Art in 2012. I attended a ceramics workshop with other educators in 2016, where I first learned about Canvas. My instructional technology facilitator @MaryTatum had multiple meetings and conferences that week to learn all she could about Canvas. The next month I began learning the ins and outs of Canvas. I spent the summer building my courses and reading everything I could find on best practices. I fell in love with Canvas, passionate about the potential we have with our students, creating a truly blended classroom. I was officially named the Canvas Implementation Coordinator for our County and began training the faculty. I presenting in 2017 on integrating Project Based Learning with Canvas at NCTIES (North Carolina Technology In Education Society). This summer I hope to continue training teachers in our county, build our county Professional Development courses, and update all of my courses.
