I've been an EETT Mentor teacher for three years, have taken over 300 staff development units on using the internet in the classroom, have a Technology Leader II certificate from Los Angeles County Office of Education, and have presented at quite a few conferences on Googlelittrips, and videoconferencing between the classroom and professionals.
