Jamie L. Forshey, a sixth grade teacher at Bellwood-Antis Middle School, has been selected by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as one of 533 \u201cKeystone Technology Integrators\u201d from across the Commonwealth for her ability to use technology as a tool to support instruction and positively impact student learning.
\nThese 533 teachers join last year\u2019s Keystones to make this professional network just one keystone shy of 1,000 teachers.
\nAccording to a recent press release, \u201cTechnology Integrators, a program that celebrates model practice teachers throughout Pennsylvania, bring to the classroom content, motivational and management expertise to capture students\u2019 imaginations and harness learning in our children.\u201d
\n In doing this, the teacher does not focus on the technology itself, rather they focus on student learning, using technology as a tool to support this end.
\nThese Keystones represent over 200 school districts, non-public schools and CTC\/AVTS.
\nForshey has become part of a statewide network of teacher leaders who share best practices about ways to utilize technology for improving instruction and student performance and was invited to participate in a five-day summit at St. Francis University in August where Keystones will collaborate with colleagues, share ideas and practices and strategize ways to disseminate model practices across the Commonwealth.
\nKeystones will be immersed in learning experiences that expose them to innovative ideas for teaching with technology and emphasize their role as teacher leaders.
\nForshey has been teaching in the Bellwood-Antis School District for 16 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
