Abby Shapiro, Media & Educational Technology Instructor
|
This is my 7th year at Barnwell and my 20th year in education. My husband and I have two children who are current and former Barnwell Bears. Our family loves to vacation in St. Simons Island and spend time playing with our dog, Booker. I believe the Media Center should be the heart and hub of the school, and it is my hope that all students feel welcomed and inspired when they step foot through our doors.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Education in Instructional Technology with Gifted Education Endorsement from Kennesaw State University. My expertise include personalized and collaborative learning strategies, professional development, differentiated instruction, technology integration, and supporting the literacy standards. |
