Hi! I am Mollie Callahan. I am an English and Yearbook Production teacher at a small rural K-12 district in northwest Ohio, and I have been teaching for 13 years. I received my Bachelor's of Education degree with a certification in Secondary English and Speech Education from The University of Toledo in 1998. I have always enjoyed technology; however, I began to feel that there was so much more I could be doing in my classroom. This was my motivation to begin a master's degree program with a specialization in integrating technology in the classroom. By completing this degree, I hope I can inspire other teachers to utilize all of the technology that is available for teachers to incorporate into the classroom.

Hello! My name is Mike Ballard. I am an Earth Science teacher, and also have a few sections of middle school science. I teach in a very rural upstate New York district. I completed my undergraduate work at Oneonta State College in 2008. I have always been somewhat of a technology geek, but at times struggled to properly integrate technology into the classroom. My goal for my masters degree was to expand my repertoire to include some of my favorite technology and ideas to more effectively meet the needs of my students.

Hello! My name is Tricia Cancian, and I am a 9th grade Algebra 1 teacher at a high school just east of Cleveland, Ohio. I received my Bachelor's of Education degree from Bowling Green State University in 2008. I have a huge interest in incorporating more technologies within today's classrooms as our society is continuously evolving with a heavy focus on technology. I plan to use my Master's Degree in Integrating Technology into the Classroom to increase my, and my colleagues, awareness of the different technologies available for us and our students.

Hello! My name is Latoya Adams and I am a fourth grade teacher in Georgia. I have been teaching for five years and have come across some wonderful students during this short time in the classroom. My goal is to complete this Master's program so that I may prepare my students adequately for their future. Technology seems to be ever evolving and I hope to stay ahead of it by learning as much as I can through these courses. Contact info: latoya.adams@waldenu.edu EST
