All about me

Welcome to my first blog post. My name is Billie Gitter and I am currently a senior Mathematics teacher with the UGDSB. I have been teaching math at WHSS for 4 years, prior to which I taught in Ottawa and in Hong Kong, Korea and Australia. I am currently at home enjoying a new addition to our family while staying busy with my two year old son.

I have always enjoyed incorporating technology into my lessons, however have met with moderate success in terms of achievement and learning outcomes. I look forward to expanding not only my knowledge of technology but also ways to incorporate it successfully into my everyday teaching practice.

This is my first online course and I am excited to hopefully gain new skills I can bring to the classroom to encourage both the reluctant and active learner. My goal is to one day be able to flawlessly create media and technology based lessons and assessments that meet all student needs.
