Joe Finn, Jr. Marian University Educational Technology Adviser: Ms. Jenna Linskens I am a 6th grade teacher at Horizon Elementary School in Pewaukee, WI. I am also finishing up earning my Masters Degree in Educational Technology from Marian University. When I started this program, my goal was to push my technology use in the classroom to a whole new level. My students are 21st century learners and I needed to be the best 21st century teacher I could possibly be. This program helped me to do that by offering a variety of classes that showed how to properly introduce kids to new technology, design lesson plans with technology at the center, and how to incorporate it into every subject I teach. This program helped me become a better teacher for my students by giving me the tools to put technology into the classroom at any time I see fit. The students are more engaged when technology is involved and they willingly dive into the subject matters more deeply when they are able to do it through technology.
