I am SO glad you found my blog! Kentucky Kinder has been a long time coming and it is sloooooowly becoming what I've imagined it to be over the past few years. Us teachers know how hard it is to actually find time to do things that aren't work related! Bah-humbug!

My name is Amanda and I live in small-town, Kentucky with my high-school-sweetheart-turned-husband and my puppy, Max. I graduated from a small liberal arts college with my BA in Elementary Education. I was SO lucky to get hired at the same school where I completed my student teaching in undergrad. I have completed 2 years of teaching (1 year in K and 1 year in 1st) and am about to begin my third year of teaching (still in 1st grade). 

I come from a family of computer geeks so I consider myself to be quite familiar with technology - although, never call me an expert. I find myself thinking grumpy old man thoughts about technology as it keeps changing so quickly!

I hope you enjoy learning about simple ways YOU can use technology in your classroom (and some other practical ways to save time) with me!
