A bit more about the creators of this project:
Nicole LaRochelle - I am a middle school teacher and a lead mentor teacher for the Arizona Virtual Academy. I've worked with K - 8th grade students at AZVA, and previously taught 3rd grade in a traditional public school setting. Our school is 100% on line. Our students are provided with our curriculum and work from their homes with support of a teacher. On a personal note, I live in Gilbert, Arizona. I am originally from Royal Oak, Michigan. I am married with a 4 year old daughter and 8 week old son. My job allows me to work from home, so her and I have a lot of time together. I also have two dogs and a cat. We're a full house!

Janet Russeau - My husband Doug and I live in Monroe, Michigan with our two sons, Aarron (17) and Jarrett (8). I am employed by the Monroe County Intermediate School District as a Technology Application Specialist in the Curriculum & Instruction division. We provide services to all of the K-12 schools in our county. I am also employed as an adjunct at the Monroe County Community College teaching various computer and business courses.

Leah Soroka - I have just completed my second year as a high school family and consumer sciences teacher in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where I live with my husband. I teach two courses called Fundamentals of Family and Consumer Science and Cooking Lite and Easy. I am always looking for new ways to incorporate technology into my classroom.
