Donna+N.

Hi!

My name is Donna and I am an 8th grade computer teacher at Northampton Area Middle School.

I have been a computer teacher at the Middle School since 1994. Prior to teaching computer classes, I taught 7th and 8th grade Science classes from 1987 thru 1994. (Life Science and Earth Science)

I have two children, Kristen who is 19 years old, and a freshman at Penn State and Marcus who is 9 years old and in 4th grade at Lehigh Elementary School. My husbands name is Alan, and we have been married for almost 12 years.

I enjoy working out with weight training and going to rally obedience classes with my dog Max. Max has just passed his qualifying test to be a pet therapy dog and when the paperwork goes through I would love to be involved with visiting children's hospitals and children's reading programs.

I am very fortunate to know that I have found the profession that fits who I am. I truly enjoy what I do, and working with middle school children. I always try to be a positive adult role model to all of my students and provide them with a a friendly face and safe environment. My professional belief is that all children are good at heart, but not all children are not necessarily the best decision makers. I personally feel that more often than not, it is not the content that we teach that is most important...but more so the life lessons that we can pass along that truly impact our students.

Where did you do your rally competition and good citizen training? Great Companions?

If you were to be introduced to any one of the topics that we learned about in this class what would you suggest:

I like the voicethread. I would share this with other teachers.

I liked the tic tac toe idea for final product [] and visuwords
