I am a
5th grade teacher and Instructional Technology Specialist. I help students,
parents
and teachers learn how to use technology. In addition to teaching the 5th
grade curriculum, I teach teachers how to use technology for teaching Math,
Science, Reading, Social Studies and other Special Areas. I teach students
and parents how to use technology to help practice skills at home, create projects, write reports and
find research information. I love working with kids and technology and seeing the
excitement it brings to my classroom! 
I
have been teaching elementary school for 21 years. I have been married to C.L. Douthard, a Landscape Architect, for 25 years and we have one son. We
live on the family farm in the country. We all enjoy sailing, scuba diving
and traveling to faraway places. I love to read, teach, work on my computer
and spend time with my family.
