Ecomp 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.
