Welcome!

Hello!  My name is Miss Wilmes, and I am your child's new Technology teacher here at SMOY.  I am very excited to embark on a new school year with your students.  We have an exciting year ahead!

PERFECT FIT:  EDUCATION + TECHNOLOGY
This job is a perfect fit for me, for it combines two my favorite passions:  education and technology!  I love working with children, as teaching is my God-given gift.  I have my bachelors in Middle Childhood Education from Northern Kentucky University in both Mathematics and Language Arts.  I also hold my master's degree from Miami University in Curriculum and Teacher Leadership with an emphasis in Educational Technology.  I believe that to teach is to touch a life forever, and I cannot think of anything I would rather do than impact our future generation by educating our youth.  I look forward to working with you and your children!

TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SOCIETY:
Technology has infused our world!  Students and families are part of a technology-driven society in which technology education exists inside and outside of SMOY's classroom walls!  One of my goals as a technology educator is to integrate a knowledge of technology into students lives.  I want to take what is happening in the world around them and the resources they use daily to make each student a 21st Century learner.  Learning technology does not happen in a vacuum; a true educator must see that technology is an extension of a students' normal routine in a society permeated with technology.

COOL ENOUGH TO HAVE A BLOG:

I have created this blog in order to create a open line of communication to keep students and parents up-to-date on all things technology happening here at St. Margaret of York.  Please free free to check out this blog a few times a week, as I will be updating this weekly with information of what your students are learning in the classroom, extensions to lessons, technology advice, and even resources!  

I look forward to working with you and your family!  Please feel free to stop by the lab and introduce yourselves!
