Introduction of Self

My name is Brooke Rothwell and I have been teaching for Guilford County Public Schools since 1998. Since beginning a career in teaching, I have taught kindergarten and first grade. I have served as school leadership team representative, grade level chair, mentor, cooperating teacher for student teachers and common core mathematics school representative.

My introduction to Instructional Technology and Design was at the University of North Carolina Greensboro where I pursued a Master’s degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Mathematics designing lessons for mathematics and literacy that incorporate technology. Once learning basic applications, I participated in a North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics mini session incorporating technology into the mathematical curriculum. After acquiring my first Master’s degree, I began working on a new Master’s degree in Instructional Technology.

I am currently working with the media coordinator and technology specialist at her school to provide staff and students with technology advances in education. I continue to stay abreast with the new technology innovations of the future for education. Understanding that technology is the way of the future, I work eagerly towards advancing my students and myself in technology.
