From the nomination…
Christie is a shining example of how technology should be integrated into the classroom for effective instructional purposes. She uses the technology to provide inquiry opportunities for students as well as ways in which students can demonstrate their mastery of content taught. Additionally, Christie integrates technology into her lessons in a way that students are able highlight their strengths and be active learners within the learning environment. Christie constantly seeks out opportunities to learn new ways in which technology is changing and improving the way in which teachers can teach and she often leads school and district-wide sessions on how to implement the technology she is using. She leads by example, is approachable, and is always willing to try something new.

Christie’s creativity and adaptability in the virtual world is evident everyday. She is a leader in all aspects of technology with her students, school, system, and entire West Georgia RESA Region. She collaborates well with other teachers as well as provides feedback in a way that encourages growth in educators as well as motivates them to take teaching with technology to the next level.
