Technology Experience: My name is Mrs. Kristi Lea Rogers and I am a 4th grade ESL/GT teacher at Woodrow Wilson School. Number of Years Teaching: This is my 8th year teaching 5 years as a 4th grade teacher 3 years as a 3rd grade teacher and 16th year working for McAllen ISD.
Number of years involved in Technology: When considering the role of the teacher in the integration of technology into the classroom and curriculum I begin by reflecting on where we have come from and I realize how much things have changed in the past 16 years. I started out at STC as a Computer Specialist student in 2003 and I received my Master of Education in Instructional Technology Leadership in 2013.
I began working for MISD as Computer Lab Manager in 2004. I held this position for over 8 years, during which time I was able to bring technology into the lives of our students. While I was CLM I designed classes that focused on teaching students about part of the Microsoft Office suite, namely Word and PowerPoint as well as managing the software the students used such as Orchard, UltraKey and eventually SuccessMaker.
During my time as CLM I also held the extra position as Campus Technology Facilitator, a title I still hold today. As CTF I help manage all the technology on campus. From helping teachers gain access to different software that the district provides to diagnosing and fixing problems with classroom computers. If the problem is beyond my knowledge I then write a work order for the district technicians to come and fix.
