Intergrating Technology in K12 Schools

I’m Emma!

Welcome to my website. I’m thrilled you are here. As an aspiring educational technologist, I have created this platform to showcase my assignments and projects related to integrating technology into K-12 education.

I have been an educator for more than two decades, serving as a Head Teacher in Scotland for nearly a decade. As I prepare to relocate to Arkansas, I am eager to enhance my proficiency in technology and deepen my knowledge of educational standards and frameworks. This motivation drives me to pursue my Masters’s degree at the University of Arkansas.

Feel free to explore my website, if you have any questions, please reach out. I hope you find my work informative and helpful.

The focus of this vision is on integrating technology to enhance learning experiences and prepare students for a society that is technologically advanced. By acknowledging that technology has the potential to improve communication, enhanced thinking skills, and fostered the development of critical life skills.
