Hello, my name is Kristin DeVaul. I am currently teaching Spanish at North Marion High School in Marion County, WV. I graduated from North Marion in 2001 and then from Fairmont State in 2006. I recieved a B.A. in secondary education - social studies. In 2006 I recieved a M.A. degree in Education. I have also completed all the masters courses for Reading and Special Education. The reason I am taking this course is because next year my school will be an innovation zone and one of our main drives will be to be incorporate more technology into our daily lessons. I hope that from this course, I can take information back to my staff and help them better use technology!
I think you will find that expanding your definition of what it means to be literate in the 21st century and learning how multimodal reading and writing can improve your students motivation to engage in language learning tasks will help you meet the Innovation Zone goals!Looking forward to working with you!
