Here are some basic facts:</p> <ul> <li>I have taught grades: 3, 4, and 5 in my six years of teaching.  I typically “loop” with my 4th graders to fifth the following year.  </li> <li>My undergrad was completed in K-6 elementary education from <a href="http://www.tayloru.edu">Taylor University</a>, and I recently finished getting my Masters in Educational Administration from <a href="http://cms.bsu.edu/">Ball State University.</a>  </li> <li>I am a tech enthusiast and an advocate for 21st century learning. </li> <li>I have a passion for <a href="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/180597/media%20collage%20-%20literacy%202.0.pdf">literacy 2.0</a>, <a href="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/180597/Schmoker%20-%20Radically%20Redefining%20Literacy.pdf">deep thinking, and critical reading.</a> </li> <li>I teach in a <a href="http://www.ccs.k12.in.us">high performing district</a> where the majority of families are online.   In my opinion, teachers in this district are enthusiastic about learning and truly have a passion for what they do, but like many places we do not have a 1:1 imitative started </li> </ul> <ul> <li>At my school I am also a Tech Coordinator and Webmaster </li> <li>I run three blogs: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.chrislatkinson.blogspot.com">Teach it, Tech it, Learn it, Lead it</a> </li> <li><a href="http://ifolder.ccs.k12.in.us/mt4/mr_atkinson_4th_grade_2008-2009/">Classroom Blog</a> </li> <li><a href="http://ifolder.ccs.k12.in.us/mt4/Atkinson/">Staff Blog</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li>On a personal note: <ul> <li>I am a new dad as of May 11th!  I love to read, learn new things, play with gadgets, travel, play and watch sports!
