About Me!!!! Hello and Welcome to my STEP Portfolio. My name is Lisa Monroe. I am a native Washingtonian, born and raised in the Nation's Capital. I am a 5th grade teacher at Magnolia Elementary School located here in Prince George's County. I have been teaching for the past 8 years, 5 years in DC Public Schools and 3 here in PG. When it comes to technology, I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable, but I love to learn more. I have seen how technology has changed in my short 29 years. I remember when it was a luxury to have a computer in the classroom. Now there is at least 4-8 in a classroom with a full lab. Technology has come a long way, and it will contiune to expand. Im glad to see a program like this that plan to incorporate technology in the classroom.

Goals for STEP!!!

This is my first year on the STEP team, but I plan on learning alot. I was elated when I found out that I was going to be on this year's team. I try to incorporate technology in my student's day. I am so excited to learn about the different ways to intergrate technology, especially what the students use, podcasting, wikis, blogging, considering how I listen to podcasts, read wikis and blogs.
