Werner_Morgan_SU2014

Hello, my name is Morgan Werner. I am an 8 th grade ELA teacher at an independent charter school in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I was an English and Sociology major at Boston College, and grew up in Bethesda, MD.

In terms of technology, I have always been an avid user. My parents would always call on my brothers to fix computer related things around the house, but I would quickly point out to them that I could do things faster and more efficiently, and I was proud of this. My cell phone is more important to me than I would like to admit, as is my computer, but I have yet to turn towards a tablet or an e-reader.

In my classroom, technology is extremely limited. We collect all cell phones specifically so that our students are not on social media sites during the day. I try to get them computers to type their final drafts on; however, we only have two full class sets for our entire school that come around on a cart and are a disaster to manage. I am definitely looking to incorporate more technology into the classroom this year.
