Bio
In this, my 10th year as Teacher for Student who are Blind/Low Vision for a rural school board, I continue to be energized by finding uses for technologies which increase my students' independence and their social connections. I started the Tinklusioneers Pilot Project in 2015 as a way to fuel my inner geek while building belonging for my students with complex needs by involving their peers in the creation of customized learning apps and tools targeting my students' alternative IEP goals. Tinklusioneers have a motto: Stretch your abilities to make things to stretch the abilities of others! So far, it is proving to be a win-win formula.
