Debora Bray
Instructional Technology Resource & Teacher
Powell Elementary School
Wake County Public School System
HI all, I am Deb. I have been teaching elementary students for a long time in North Carolina and Florida. I entered the Wake County Public School system after earning a Master of Science degree in Instructional Technology from none other than NC State (Yea). I grew up just outside of Philadelphia on the Jersey side of the Delaware River and moved to North Carolina many years ago. I worked in banking, in the new ATM Department, while I worked on my undergraduate degree in education. The connection between computers and learning has always intrigued me. I think it is powerful, when a student can use a digital device to direct his own learning. I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful opportunity to study abroad and learn about new digital techniques to integrate with the writing process.
