My name is Colette Cassinelli and I am a high school computer teacher at private Catholic high school in Beaverton, Oregon. I have over 20 years of teaching experiences in grades K-12. In July of 2007, I completed my [|Master's of Arts in Educational Technology at Pepperdine University]. My passion is learning new things. I love to read, travel, listen to music and talk! I share my wonderful life with my husband and two teenage sons. I am always on the lookout for great web resources and teaching ideas to use in my high school computers class. I teach Computer Applications, Newspaper/Web Design, Graphic Design, and Digital Video Production. I am a **Google Certified teacher** and have presented at several conferences including the [|Instructional Technology Strategies Conference] (ITSC), [|Northwest Council for Computer Education] (NCCE), the [|Innovative Learning Conference] in San Jose and the upcoming [|National Catholic Education Association conference] in Anaheim during April 2009. I began a collaborative wiki about how educators are using [|VoiceThread]in their classroom at: http://voicethread4education. wikispaces.com.
