My name is Connie Barnes I am a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. After 18 years of teaching and raising three children who are also college graduates I am in the process of getting a Masters of Education in Diverse Populations. For the past ten years I have taught fourth or fifth grade and I have tried to keep up with technology. I have also tried to use technology of many kinds in my classroom but I was never what you might call a "Tech Wiz". I often called on my fellow teachers for help. Taking ITEC 501at the University of Mary Washington, during the spring of 2207, has change my teaching in more ways than what is shown here.

This ePortfolio is the evidence of my being stretched beyond what I imagined ! It was not a process without stress and doing these activities with seventy-five fourth grade history students was a challenge! In my ePortfolio  you find my philosophy of education. tutorials that I think are helpful, lesson plans, examples of student work done by following the lesson plans and resources I used to create the lessons. Though they were created for fourth grade Virginia History I think they could be adapted to most grade levels. I feel the work put into these lessons was well worth it and I know my students were engaged learners through out each process.
