In Education we Serve

A blog of ed-tech, pedagogy and resources to support teachers in their teaching practice. Think of it as a toolkit for novice to veteran educators to incorporate the skills and ideas into their teaching to promote quality, impactful learning for all learners. Based on nearly 15 years of teaching in a classroom and countless hours in teaching training, ISTE, and master’s school work revolving around education. I hope these suggestions serve your teaching practice.
