About Page

     Hello, and welcome to my Educational Tech Blog!  My name is Lisa Markham and I am a media specialist in a Kindergarten through fifth grade school in south-eastern Georgia.  I was a classroom teacher for eight years before entering the world of library media three short years ago.  From the very beginning I knew library media was my calling and what I was meant to do.  I still consider myself very much a teacher, but now I teach all grades in the biggest classroom in the school! 

     I love reading, but even more, I love inspiring children to read.  That is the number one reason I became a media specialist.  My educational philosophy is: all children can learn to read, develop a passion for reading, and ultimately become a life long reader.  As a media specialist, inspiring children in the area of reading and technology is my first priority, and I think the best way to do this is to make every experience for students in the library a fun one!

     This blog is not mainly about reading however, but technology.  Join me as I encounter, learn and experience technology, and specifically the world of web 2.0 technologies.  This is a place you can come and read about my enlightenment, discovery, and even my frustrations as a new media specialist, but particularly in the area of technology.  This blog is meant for teachers and specifically media specialists, written by one of your own, yours truly.  I sincerely hope you find it informative, relatable, and entertaining at the least!
