Hi, I'm Shana.

Middle School Teacher Technology Integration Specialist; Digital Creator; Google for Education Certified Trainer & Innovator

I’m on a mission to help teachers and students make the most of their tech.


About Me 👋

I'm Shana—an educator and digital creator who believes in the power of language, creativity, and student voice. As a middle school ELA and journalism teacher turned K-12 technology specialist, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible potential of technology to enhance learning, ignite creativity, and simplify our daily lives.

I first began writing about my experiences in the classroom and sharing resources online as a way to expand my professional learning community in 2016. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with and learn from so many creative, like-minded educators from around the world. These days, you’ll find me on my blog, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok covering a variety of topics related to technology, education, and design. From quick tips and step-by-step tutorials to practical strategies and ideas, my #1 goal is to provide resources that help teachers and students save time and use technology in fun, creative, and meaningful ways.

So whether you're taking your first steps into the world of tech or you're a seasoned digital pro, you’re in the right place—and I’m so glad you’re here!
