I am Danna.
Through my affiliation as an Ed Tech grad student at UM-Flint I was so happy to be among amazing (an understatement) educators, collaborators, and innovators at the
iiE Gathering in Ann Arbor for four days last week. What a great experience!

I am grandma to Jackson, age 3, who was painting at my house yesterday:
Jackson and I spend our days together every summer Monday and Tuesday.
Two weeks ago my husband Mike and I celebrated our 33rd anniversary. We have been best friends since I was 20 years old. Mike and I also celebrated our son Michael's 30th birthday last week and our son Jordan's 27th in May. Next month we celebrate Michael's anniversary of his wedding to our daughter-in-law Johanna :-).
My family has been a great support to me as I've earned my BA-K-12 visual arts--K-12 reading specialist, an MA in Educational Leadership, and now my MA in Education Technology. LIfe is good!
I just completed EDT 630 in Ann Arbor with amazing people, and am currently enrolled in EDT 631 and 632.
In the fall I will go back to full time work as the visual arts instructor at Ionia High School in Ionia, Michigan. Here is a link to my website there (always a work in progress!) I am currently trying to get my collection of this year's images posted showing the wonderful works of art by my beautiful students:
In the fall I will begin my 6th (I think) year as an adjunct instructor in graphic design at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I've learned so much in a short period of time in the Ed Tech program at UM-Flint. Here is a link to my web portfolio, also always in the process of change.
Enough about me! I want to hear about you! I'm looking forward to learning with you :-)
--Love and peace to all,
Danna
