Bio

Working in the early childhood field has taught me a lot about myself. The want and need to help others succeed in their future and helping them get to that point in life. Early childhood is not just about changing diapers and reading stories to little ones, it is also about nurturing a little one's wanting to learn. I have been teaching infants, toddlers and preschool for over 20 years and wouldn't ask for anything more. Having to a little over a year off from work due to an injured knee made me realize that being with children, students of all ages make my day go faster along with putting a smile on my face as I make a difference in someone's life.

Team feedback
My interaction with Amy was nothing but positive. She was always available when I needed her and she asked many questions, which is very good as she wanted to understand the scope of what she was doing properly. Amy was able to deliver her report in good time with enough information so I could continue my project. The only missing piece was that Amy did not have a full grasp of the technology I was using vs the information I needed and how to translate that into the report. She gave me a great starting point and for that, I am grateful as this will allow me on going for the next steps in this initiative.

Unity teaching resources creation

We would like to develop an Unity content for grades k-12 about technology and environment. This project should focus on: Gathering relevant course design and content information from interviews with key stakeholders. Assessing existing on-line training platforms and recommending the best platform for this course. We have lots of existing content to share, so the project wouldn't be starting from scratch. The bulk of the project would be course design, rather than content creation.
