1Ecomp 6102 Portfolio
- My name is Ginger Towle. I have been teaching for
18 years. Most of my teaching career has been in
regular education, but with my recent move to a
new school district I have become a special
education teacher. This move has been a real
challenge for me. I have learned a great deal
working towards my masters in technology and
look forward to continue to learn new ways to
improve my teaching for all my students.
