Meet the Digital "Media Specialist"

Katie Morrow

Teaching fifth grade for over ten years in Northeast Nebraska, I have to say that I will always be a fifth grade teacher at heart. Currently I teach technology courses K-8 at O'Neill Public School as well as graduate education courses for Doane College. Along my journey in education I have found opportunities and motivation for my students in the area of technology integration. I use technology to motivate, challenge, remediate, collaborate with, and foster a love of life-long learning with my students.
