Struggling to manage the influx of information you have to maintain and communicate every single day - from students, administrators, and parents?
Do you feel like you spend MORE time managing everything that comes along with being a teacher than actually… you know, TEACHING?

We all know that running your classroom is… Well, it’s not easy.
There are policies and changes and benchmarks and all the things that you’ve got to do to keep the higher-ups happy…
Not to mention handling everything from parent concerns to IEPs to figuring out where the money for the supplies is going to come from.
Your day is 95% full before you can even spare a thought for your classroom of kids who are depending on you to show them how to operate in the world today… as well as pass the next scantron test that they’ve got to ace.
It can feel like more and more is piled on your plate every single day.
And you’re taking work home with you almost every night.
Is this what you signed up for when you started teaching? (me either.)
But it IS the reality that you’re facing, every single day.
And if you care (which we all know you do)... then it’s about making the best of it and still managing to live some semblance of life between September and June.
Luckily, there’s hope.
Technology can help us manage everything on our plates and keep it all together… but only if we know how to use the tools at our disposal the right way.
Here’s the thing: there ARE teachers that have rebelled against the idea that they’re so committed to their jobs they need a marriage license.
There are teachers who are embracing technology as a way to not only speak the language their students speak… but make their lives BETTER.
They’re automating processes and communication instead of sending yet another form letter home.
They’re creating forms instead of copying off a fill-in-the-blank with handwriting so bad they can’t decipher a single word.
They’re using digital tools to create, collect, and record assignments… instead of drowning in paperwork and living in the copy room.
And it’s possible for YOU to become one of these rebel teachers - who understands that just because their job is to help shape young minds… doesn’t mean their lives have to be 100% lived inside the walls of the school building.
That’s what this event is all about, and why I’m so excited to bring it back to you again this year.
Because it’s time to Design Your Digital Classroom so you can stop working so long to keep things in order and
Get back to your life…
Spend more time teaching what matters…
ENJOY your profession again…
- Automate your repeating tasks
- Organize the deluge of information
- Communicate with administration, parents AND students
- Spend LESS time managing and MORE time teaching (so you can take a dang break now and then!)

And yes, I’m a teacher. I’ve been teaching for 7 years… and nobody ever taught me how to teach online. (Yeah, THAT was fun, wasn’t it?!)
But I had a leg up on a lot of my coworkers… I. frickin. LOVE. technology.
So I knew that there were better ways to do the things that teachers have always done - and I started doing it in my own classroom, bit by bit. Learning as I went, figuring out new systems and processes.
And then I started showing my teacher friends. (They were… impressed, to say the least!)
That’s when I realized that teachers everywhere can benefit from what I already know: that technology isn’t going anywhere and it’s the language our students speak… so there’s no good reason to not use it everywhere we possibly can. ESPECIALLY if it makes our lives easier.
(and it does make your life easier. A LOT easier.)
That’s why I’ve put together this event - to help YOU understand the tools that are available right now to help you do more in less time so you can actually STOP working once in a while… and enjoy the life you’re living.
Whether you’ve been using technology for years or the boot-up sound of a computer freaks you out… I can help you create better for yourself.
It all starts with this free Design Your Digital Classroom Summit.
