I was a public school educator for over 30 years. My experiences as a 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classroom teacher as well as an elementary STEM Specialist and Digital Integration Facilitator led me on
wonderful adventures. My experiences ranged from Regular Ed, Special Ed, Academically and Intellectually Gifted, and two cycles of National Board Certification. Midway through my career, through an NC State Kenan Fellowship, I worked with educational researchers to create multi-user immersive science games for elementary students. My passion has always been integrating technology and engineering in relevant ways at the elementary level, and I continue to find ways to share my love of science with students and other educators. I currently work with the curriculum development team at Drone Legends. My life-long dream to become a picture book author led me to write the Emersyn Blake series, named after our first grandchild. I have also published corresponding coloring/wondering books as well as the magical, yet science-based, Beasties of the Tree Hollows. I love spending my spare time reading and enjoying the beach with my husband, our three grown sons and their families. You can find out more at kimcollazo.weebly.com. |
