= Welcome to Group E's Wiki! =

=Meet the Contributors =

Hello, my name is Heather Yamamoto! I have a multiple subject credential and am currently substituting in two school districts in Southern California. I have never created a wiki before and the only one I've ever used is Wikipedia. So far, it seems pretty "user friendly" and I'm excited to create this with my fellow group members.

 H ello! My name is Ashley Sroczynski and I am an Early Childhood Intervention Specialist. I teach 3-5 year olds who are on IEPs and 3-5 year olds who are not on IEPs. Currently my IEP caseload includes a child who is blind, a child who has cerebral palsy, a few children w﻿ith speech issues, a child who is select mute, two children with down syndrome, etc. It is definitely a "hopping" place in my classroom and I absolutely love it! My contact information: ashley.sroczynski@waldenu.edu and I live in the eastern time zone (Ohio).

Hi! From cold Washington state. My name is Nancy White-Hursh and I am currently a substitute teacher with a past history of classroom reading speicalist. Most of my experience has been with middle school age students. I was a para educator for 18 years where I worked with students of very diverse abilities but all were on IEP's. I grew up in what seems now to be the "stone age" and technology is a skill I am acquiring slowly. My time zone is Pacific. nancy.white-hursh@waldenu.edu

Hello. I'm Kimberly Tribue. I live in Florida. Go Rattlers and Noles! I am currently a Reading Coach at a 6-12 school. I have more experience with high school than middle school. I love my current position at the school, as it assists me with administration experience, since administration is my ultimate goal. Technology is among us and is not going to disappear. Get ready to delve in.Kimberly Tribue
