My name is Christina Salamone, I am a first grade teacher and I am in my 6th year of teaching. I have been teaching first grade all six years in my profession. I graduated from the University of Maine in 2012, and haven’t furthered my education, or thought about it until a few DAYS ago. I like to learn new things and push myself to be my best. This summer I completed my Third Triathlon and renovated my home.

The door to my classroom. Above is an actual photo of me at the end of the year (purple minion).

My first graders love all technology, so to play into their interests I integrate different interactive tech elements to most of my lessons daily. My classes in the past have enjoyed Kahoot, coding, and anything to do with our Smart-board.

I am just learning more about Design thinking, and its process/approach to problem solving. It reminds me a lot of designing learning outcomes using lesson plans based on students needs and interests. I am excited to start my journey learning more about technology education in this ever growing and changing environment of education.
