Getting to Know Me

Hi!  My name is Ellen and I am working on my Master's Degree in Educational Technology.  I went to CMU for my undergraduate degree in education and I am excited to receive my MA from there as well.

I am currently a Kindergarten teacher in Detroit.  This is my first year teaching kindergarten.  Previously, I taught GSRP (At-Risk Pre-k) in Traverse City, Michigan.  I decided to move to the Detroit area to be closer to family and friends.

Right now, I am training for the Detroit Half-Marathon in October.  I do not love running, but I know I can do it!

I am excited to learn more ways to integrate technology into the classroom and work with all of you!

  1. Hi Ellen,
    Nice to meet you!

    Last fall I signed up for a half-marathon and two months ago I finished my first marathon. You never know where running will take you! So if you know you can do it, you're over half way there! Congrats!!

    Looking forward to a great class.

  2. Hi Ellen,

    Bless you for teaching kindergarten. After teaching 5th grade, I don't think I could go any lower! Glad you are liking teaching the young ones.

    I ran my first half marathon awhile ago, and I can honestly say it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I would recommend it to anyone. And this is coming from someone who also does not like running :)

    Good luck with class!
