 * [[image:DSC06296.JPG width="240" height="179" align="left"]] || Anne is currently an intermediate special education teacher for the York Region District School Board. Over the last ten years, Anne has taught in a variety of special education settings including an intermediate Autism Spectrum Disorder class. Currently pursuing technology as fast as it changes, Anne finds herself constantly evolving in terms of how she uses technology in a practical way which supports all student learning. In this past school year, her students were engaged in using a variety of technology tools - including personal and class wikis, web 2.0, games, smart technologies, and all of the Assistive Technology software already on SEA computers.

Always excited about the potential for change and growth in her students, Anne's only wish is for everything to be as friendly and intuitive as her Mac. When she isn't playing on her MacBook, you can find her supporting her piping & drumming kids, going to Highland games, travelling abroad, working as a board member for her local rugby club, and generally enjoying the multitude of things that teenager chldren bring her way! ||
