Laurie+Korte

Bio: I am Laurie Korte, District Technology Integration Specialist for [|Northbrook District 28] in Northbrook, IL. It’s my joy to share with teachers and staff ways technology can enhance their teaching and students’ learning. I love it. I learn from my colleagues as well. They are the frontline of my Professional Learning Network.

Previously, I have been a Middle School Science teacher for many years and an Information Specialist for a 5th/6th grade Intermediate school and a PreK-4th grade Elementary. I have and continue to enjoy presenting at international, national and local education conferences on Moodle as well as other Open Source technologies. Recently, I authored two books for teachers: [|Moodle Magic: Make It Happen], and; [|Open Source Opens Classrooms]. In addition, I am a Facilitator/Network Administrator on Global Classroom at http://globalclassroom.us.

I relax by creating Art Quilts and playing with my two small parrots, Max (Sun Conure) and Dewey (White-Bellied Caique).

If I can help any of you, in any way, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I look forward to this opportunity to learn with and from you in the Illinois/Ohio PLP Cohort.
