Bio:
Hey, I'm Mrs. Laura Metz. I'm all about Instructure Community, diving deep into Synergy SIS and Canvas LMS since 2021. Connecting with LMS admins and IT specialists is my jam. When not navigating the edtech world or binge-watching Suits, I take on the role of a VEX IQ and VRC coach. Follow and connect on Linkedin or X at @MrsLauraMetz.
