Orientación para padres
Students will need access to something with which they can create their presentation (PowerPoint or Google Slides). Students will need access to a word processing application such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word in which they can type the final copy of their report. Google Docs and Google Slides are free, but they require setting up a Google account at www.google.com. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint require a paid subscription. You can find information about getting a subscription to Microsoft products on the Microsoft.com website.
Lista de útiles escolares
Special Note: All of the word processing and presentation tools listed in the External Resources section are not required. Students will need on word processing tool and one presentation tool. 
     There will be worksheets handed out during the course of the class. Students can use these to keep track of their resources, take notes, and record their progress. 
   Beginning in week 7, students should have access to Google Slides to create a presentation. Google Slides is free but requires a subscription. Another good option is PowerPoint, which requires a purchase. You only need one of these.
     I recommend using Google Docs to type the final copy. It is free but requires a subscription. Another option is Microsoft Word, which you would need to purchase. You only need one or the other.

I love working with kids! I have 13 years of teaching experience, and I have taught in both traditional school settings and as a homeschool parent. I am passionate about helping kids at all levels of their reading and writing journey. It's so exciting when I see a student gain confidence as a reader/writer or when I can help a young aspiring writer achieve their dreams.

My writing experience includes writing copy for marketing materials, ghost writing for corporate executives, technical writing, writing newspaper articles, and writing instructions for digital technology applications. Managing a corporate internal newsletter was one of my favorite projects. I created the newsletter design, interviewed and wrote articles about team members, and managed the editing and submission process for all the contributors. As a hobby, I love to write short stories, poetry, and songs. I can't imagine my life without writing.

My education includes a BA in Communications and a Master of Science in Technical and Professional Communication (MSTPC). Because I have completed 2 years of my BA and all of my MS classes online, I am skilled with the various aspects of online learning. I love using what I have learned to help kids become better at reading and writing.
