Welcome!!!!
Hello! My name is Jessica Durinsky. I am a Social Studies teacher and soccer coach from Ohio and a recent graduate of the University of Akron. I created this website during my student teaching as a way to share my exploration of using innovative technology in my classroom.
My goal for this website was to not only further my own experiences with using and teaching technology in the classroom but to also provide motivation for others to use this information as well. If you explore my Blog you will find numerous simple and creative ways to implement technology into a classroom. I mostly focused on uses for social studies but I think that you will find that most of this technology can be used for just about any subject. Please explore the links in each post and check it out for yourself! I am always looking for new and interesting things to do in class so if you have any suggestions of your own please comment!
I have also used this website to create an online professional portfolio. The Blog page includes examples and reflections of work that I have done in the classroom to integrate technology into my lessons. The portfolio page includes more information about myself and more examples of some of the work that I have done as a teacher.
