Michelle Baldwin (@michellek107)
My name is Michelle Baldwin, and I am a learner, an educator, a self-proclaimed “techie,” presenter, and an advocate for teaching and learning with students.
I returned to the classroom in 2009, after coordinating technology professional/staff development for eight years in a suburban school district in Omaha, Nebraska. From fall of 2009 through spring of 2011, I taught K-5 Vocal Music in the same school district. In August 2011, I moved to Denver, Colorado and joined the staff of Anastasis Academy.
Mother, Wife, Traveler, Learner, Teacher, Educational Consultant, Food and Wine Snob and Coordinator of Partnerships and Innovation at the Alberta Distance Learning Centre
My goal is simple; providing all students the opportunity to learn. I am motivated by creating connections through our passions, our purpose, and our potential.
