Introduction

Web Site Developed by Karen Work Richardson, 8th grade computer skills teacher at Saint Clare Walker Middle School. (Don't be fooled: I have a Master's Degree in English with a concentration in Rhetoric and Composition. I'm really an Engish teacher in disguise. This just proves that English majors really can do anything!)

I do a lot of computer training locally for my own and other school districts through Rappahannock Community College and nationally for Classroom Connect.

My resume is on-line.

I wrote an article for the on-line technology journal From Now On that describes some of my early attempts at integrating computers into the classroom.

*I Love Spreadsheets!*

They have lots of other great ideas for using your Office software more creatively.) Spreadsheet and Social Studies: A Match Made in Heaven Using Spreadsheets in the Classroom
