E-Portfolio

The purpose of this e-portfolio is to inform you of my diverse knowledge and skills that I have aquired over the years.  I am currenlty working as a Master Technology Teacher for the Donna Independent School District.  I also attend The University of Texas Brownsville Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC) so that I may continue to work towards my Masters Education in Educational Technology. 

I have worked for the Donna ISD for 5 years; the first year I worked as a Teacher Assistant for the Elementary Levels and was promoted to a Lab Mananger the same year.  I worked closesly with the professional staff and helped maintain an effective and efficient comptuer lab setting for teachers and students to enhance their technological experiences. 

As I worked with the district I diligently continued my education by enrolling at South Texas Community College (STCC) and received two Associates Degrees.  My first Associates Degree is an Associates of Applied Science as a Computer Specialist and my second degree is an Associates of Science Computer Information Systems.  I was then able to transfer to The University of Texas Pan American and received a Bachelors of Business Computer Inforrmation Systems. 

I continued to work as a teacher assistant and enrolled with the ACT/RGV for preparation for a career in teaching through alternative certification  in order to enhance my essential knowledge and skills in instructional strategies, curriculum planning, and reading instruction which is vital for a successful first year of teaching.  After the summer I was hired to teach Business Ventures, Eighth Grade class.  Through my teaching, I believed that I was able to inspire the leaders of tomorrow. 

I performed duties above and beyond what was required of my skill.  I worked with teachers and began to integrate technology into core classes, such as English, Language Arts, Science, and History.  By collaborating with core teachers we were able to enhance our lesson plans with the appropriate technology.  Over the years my knowledge and technological skills have improved to a higher standard as I will always be a student of my craft and skill.
