Congrats to Mrs. Spath! Digital Star Teacher for KISD


Mrs. Spath is a Kindergarten teacher at Wilson Elementary who incorporates technology every day!  To assess learning, Mrs. Spath has her students take real-world pictures and create a PicCollage to ensure they understand the concepts.  She knows how important it is to keep her 5 and 6 year olds active and making connections to their world.  Students create representations of numbers and email their responses.  Technology is used during guided reading and math to enhance learning for individual students.  Tech centers give students in this classroom more opportunities for higher level thinking. QR codes are used around the room to support various units of study and activities. Renee has inspired the entire Kindergarten team of teachers and they are excited about incorporating technology in the classroom. Mrs. Spath is also the chair person for the 212 Degree Committee and has designed a monthly S'More that is sent to teachers to introduce new apps and uses of technology in the classroom. Mrs. Spath has a passion for teaching and learning.
