7th grade Social Studies Teacher at Waunakee Community Middle School living in DeForest, WI, formerly of Beloit, WI (7 years at Beloit Turner). Middle school is often the worst few years of a kid\\'s school experience... BUT IT DOESN\\'T HAVE TO BE!
In school, I\\'m all about gameification, FANschool, Sports integration, turning my classroom into the Democratic People\\'s Republic of Honishlandia, class competitions, flipped classroom, video production and parody songs. Outside of class, I\\'m married with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I love triathlon and watching my favorite sports teams. BMW enthusiast but not owner, for I am a public school teacher after all. Currently pursuing a Master\\'s in Instructional Technology through the University of Alabama.
