Bañuelos Elementary School


How Long Have You Been Teaching?
This is my 25th year in education


How Does Educational Technology Play a Role in Your Classroom?
I introduce problem solving skills through fun activities as well as support key concepts teachers are covering in their classroom through the use of apps, Spheros and other coding games.


How Do You Find Technology in the Classroom Helpful?
I support what the teachers do in their class through the use of Spheros and other technologies. I like how engaged students become as their learning new skills.


What Is Your Favorite Piece of Classroom Technology? Why?
Spheros, they're easy to use and fun to implement.


What Is On Your Technology Wish List For Your Classroom? Why?
Updated Spheros. Many of the existing ones don't stay charged for more than 30 minutes and I use them all day since I see many classes.


What Do You Love Most About Teaching?
Inspiring the kids to find ways in which they can be successful whether that's finding their favorite reading genre or learning new technology skills


What is one thing you would like to add to your tech wish list?
Updated Spheros
