PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS
Past
President of the Special Education Technology Special Interest
Group of the International Society for Technology in Education
(ISTE).
Member
of SIG - Council Advisory Board of ISTE.
PERSONAL
My
areas of expertise are special education technology integration,
and Plains Indians. I have guided our department in the integration
of technology into existing education classes using the National
Education
Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS*T) as the framework.
Each May, I offer a class on Rosebud Reservation
in South Dakota where students study the history and culture
of the Lakota Sioux and teach in the schools. My husband, Glenn,
and I enjoy traveling.
