Georgia.
She
is
a
veteran
teacher,
who
has
taught
multiple
different
grade
levels
within
the
Lower
School.
Mrs.
Williams
is
a
role
model
for
her
colleagues,
as
she
devotes
herself
to
developing
students
of
character,
problem
solvers,
critical
thinkers,
and
creative
and
innovative
individuals.
She
fulfills
this
mission
by
including
the
use
of
a
one-to-one
laptop
program
in
her
fourth
grade
classroom.
After
completing
two
individual
needs-based
assessments,
Mrs.
Williams
has
stated
that
she
would
like
guidance
on
how
to
increase
the
levels
of
technology
use
in
her
class,
as
well
as
implementing
more
effective
instructional
software
programs
and
apps.
Mrs. Williams is very open to the idea of having a technology coach. In fact,
she
is
thrilled!
She
is
often
mentoring
other
colleagues
in
academic
areas,
so
she
is
excited
to
learn
acquire
news
skills
herself.
Mrs.
Williams
believes
that,
as
teachers,
we
all
have
valuable
gifts
to
share
with
each
other.
Gifts
to
better
one
another.
Gifts
to
better
our
students.
She
believes
that
the
use
of
technology
in
the
classroom
is
very
positive
and
beneficial.
After evaluating and interviewing Mrs. Williams, it was easier to identify her
technology
needs.
One
desire
of
Mrs.
Williams
is
guidance
on
using
technology
more
efficiently,
sensitive
to
time.
She
states,
[my
biggest
challenge
in
integrating
technology]
is
time
making
sure
that
my
unit
goals
for
learning
are
met.
The
integration
of
technology
must
efficiently
support
the
curricular
demands
for
the
subject
matter
(personal
communication,

5th,

She
hopes
to
find

effective
technology
tools
to
engage
her
young
students
while
meeting
the
increasing
curricular
demands.
Her
positivity
and

coachee.
Mrs. Williams and her technology coach, Ms. Murray, make plans to meet at
