UNA Inservice

The purpose of this blog is to allow easy access to all of the materials covered in the UNA Going "app" Crazy inservice.

About me:
I am a crazy, overworked, type A teacher, wife, and mother. I love technology (most of the time) and want to always be on the cutting edge for my students. To me, I owe them that.

We could probably all add three or four different things to this mix as well.
