A favorite and rewarding part of my career as a media specialist is planning and implementing staff development workshops for teachers in my district. Since 1994 I have chaired Celebrating Success with Technology, a summer technology academy for teachers in Wi nona and area districts. I have also provided workshops for the Minnesota Department of Education. A selected list of topics is listed below. Contact me for other possibilities!
