Kelly+Jordan-+Leopold+Primary+School

==I am in my eighth year of teaching at Leopold Primary School, near Geelong. I work in an open classroom with Kathleen Morris and we teach our 42 Grade Two students together. I have taught grades Prep - 2 over the past eight years.==

During my time at Leopold I have been the professional development co-ordinator, Prep year level co-ordinator and I am currently the Literacy co-ordinator. I am also part of the Teaching and Learning team responsible for organising weekly professional development sessions for staff.

I am passionate about using technology in my classroom, enhancing my teaching capabilities through the use of technology and seeing how technology can improve student learning outcomes. Our class blogis a big part of our program and we also use interactive whiteboards, iPod touches and classroom computers daily.

I have a keen interest in Literacy and enjoy blogging about my ideas, experiences and opinions in my Literacy blog for teachers.

I participated in the Leaders in the Making //Teaching in Effective Teams// program with two colleagues in 2009. I am looking forward to attending the Google Teacher Academy in Sydney next week!

Apart from all things education, I enjoy keeping fit, reading, cooking, shopping, watching movies and spending time with friends and family.
