Introduction



Jennifer Monath Whitehall Elementary

Welcome to my STEP Portfolio. I have been teaching for eight years and have taught grades three through six. As a fourth grade teacher at Whitehall Elementary, I see students with a variety of interests and learning styles. I work with students in the talented and gifted program as well as other advanced learners. I try to incorporate technology into daily lessons with the use of PowerPoint presentations, the Video Visualizer, and educational video clips. My students have emailed homework to me, created their own PowerPoint presentations, and used online games to foster their learning and creativity.

By participating in STEP, I hope to better address the needs of my students. I want to learn about technology that will enable me to meet the student technology standards and prepare my students for the twenty-first century. I aim to prepare and present lessons using technology that actively engage my students. I want my students to be able to present and share their knowledge through relevant, real-world experiences.
