Website Hoopla!

Hello! My Name is Lorien Cafarella, my parents have a "thing" for Lord of the Rings so I am name for Lothlorien. That is cool, but necessary to explain a lot. I am a total sci-fi and computer Geek, I love to teach and use technology. I use it everyday sometimes every waking hour.

I am currently

a computer teacher in South Florida. I have been teaching computers for 17 years, and my has technology changed! I very much enjoy teaching, my favorite grade level is Middle School. They prove everyday that they do not know everything and so they try hard. Over the years I have taught in 4 states and each state has different ideas of what students need to learn, if any thing at all, in technology. So my lesson plans have changed greatly because of this.

This website has been created as a requirement for my Technology and Learning Master's Program at WGU, Western Governors University. My intent is to share my technological expertise with others. I have placed on this site only a few of the classroom activities that my students either do now or have done in the past. If you are interested in more I will post as blogs, as I have never been involved with blogging and I am finding it fun!
