This year, we will again be implementing TI-83 calculators and CBL's in our classrooms. Click on the pictures for more info!!!

More exciting news is that we are again part of NCSU's Science House's Satellite Program. During the summer of 1997, I (and 2 other Hickory High teachers) had the wonderful opportunity of attending a two week workshop fo technology in the classroom. We used the computers and CBL's extensively, as well as developed our own labs for use in this area. In addition, 2-3 weeks each semester, we will have the use of seven Power Macintosh computers for use in lab. Click here for more information.

Last summer I was invited to participate in WebAssign, a pilot project for NC public school teachers. Through this program, students can receive and submit homework assignments via the internet. Multiple submissions are allowed, which means that my students will have the opportunity to improve their homework grade by correcting errors and resubmitting their work. Check it out !!

Now, for news about myself!!
I'm in my twelfth year of teaching science and feel that I couldn't have chosen a better profession. My high school science teachers inspired me, hopefully I do the same for my students!! I recently received National Board Certification in AYA/Science (November 1999), so if any present or potential Nationally Certified teachers are viewing this, please contact me.

I'm looking forward to a super school year working for Hickory Public Schools and hope that this site can serve as another form of communication between me and my students.

Please feel free to e-mail me with your questions or comments.
