Welcome!
My name is Lisa Mele.
I teach 8th grade language arts at a middle school in North Carolina. I also work hard to integrate technology into my lessons on a regular basis. On any given day, you will find my students completing warm ups on their iTouches, blogging about their novels on the class blog, researching on the school computers or iPads, or creating informative, persuasive, technology-based presentations. I truly believe that technology makes lessons more engaging for students, provides a better opportunity to understand the material being taught, and helps prepare students to become technologically savvy learners prepared with 21st century skills.
When I created this portfolio, I was also a graduate student. In May, 2012, I earned my masters degree through the Michigan State University Master of Arts in Educational Technology Program.
This portfolio is a showcase of my educational and professional experiences. By touring this site, you will get more information about my work as a teacher and as a student.
