As a teacher using Schoology, and later as an Technology Coach teaching it, I was an ambassador for Schoology (since acquired by Powerschool). I used Schoology in my classroom and later used it to train teachers. I taught Schoology sessions at local and state level technology conferences and actively shared my activities and Schoology tips via social media.

I helped develop quests for their online library (I even won quest of the month and quest of the week!). I also was actively sharing their program and it's utilization in my classroom on social media. I also taught sessions on using Classcraft to gamify your classroom at local and state level technology conferences. I loved this program and would have continued to actively participate as an Ambassador, but at the end of 2019 I left the classroom to become a Technology Specialist.
