Haciendo Historia en el Aula
This blog is intended as a classroom tool, to show to students the potential of new technologies, proper use of them, without forgetting the traditional formats. In this blog of matter will have access to resources, issues, tasks and curiosities that can manage and use them as the work in class because the subject is organized for the contents of the 2nd year, and for the Test University access.
It also intends to take advantage to the blogosphere, being a point of exchange and meetings between teachers of the subject, or just history buffs, making available of such notes or resources, while this blog will feed on job sharing of thousands of teachers.
With my hat rack in hand, I am a Teacher of Students with Disabilities, district curriculum developer, educational technology workshop creator for professional development, NJ-ASK-6 coordinator, campus yearbook coordinator, and elementary school website coordinator. I am an aspiring writing and soon to be doctoral student in Educational Leadership & Technology. I am passionate about my career, yet the best job I hold full-time is being a mother of three and the wife to my number one fan.
In August 2011, the idea behind iTeach CAFE was born. Beginning as a simple notion to create a new blog, my thoughts grew rapidly and soon I found myself building an entire website worth of ideas! Used as a tool for networking and brainstorming, iTeach CAFE is a think tank. The journey towards earning my Doctorate in Educational Leadership & Technology is scheduled to set course in July 2012. Selfishly, this site is a place where I can consolidate my passion for technology and maintain a record of what information, data, and resources are important to my goals.
iTeach CAFE ... a small idea with a lot of purpose.
"i" ... meaning me ... or you ... anyone in education.
Teach ... it's what I do ...what we do ... on so many levels.
CAFE ... Computer Applications For Education
iTeach CAFE is a place where humor and irony concerning educational technology will be welcomed ... and hopefully shared! I value your feedback ... no, scratch that ... I want your feedback! Share with me your experiences, ideas, and strategies. Point me in a new direction, argue my ideas, support my curiosities ... be a part of my goals! I do not believe success is an independent adventure and look forward to embracing a new community of my peers. Thanks for joining my journey!

I have been teaching for 10 years. Currently, I am a headteacher in a small, very small, rural primary school in Argyll, on the west coast of Scotland.
That sounds grand until you realise that I am the only full-time teacher in the school! My colleague teaches for a day and a half to allow me time for the never ending paperwork and planning.
I am a dreamer! I see new technologies and dream of ways to use them in teaching & learning. Embedding them in my practice is another matter!

With a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University in Agricultural Communication and minors in Communication Studies and International Studies, Dr. Mason's journey in education has truly been an interdisciplinary approach. She completed her Master’s degree in Communication Studies from Ball State University in 2003 and graduated with her Ed.D in Adult, Higher, and Community Education with a Cognate in Communication Studies in 2007.
Dr. Helvie-Mason’s research involves the understanding of education as a culture and communication as an avenue to matriculating successfully through that culture. She explores technology and instruction through a communicative lens. Her work has emphasized the marginalized voices within education, including female faculty members, minorities, and inmates. As she teaches communication courses in public speaking, advanced public speaking and debate and argumentation, Dr. Helvie-Mason utilizes a reflective pedagogy which gives the students opportunities to shape and direct their learning experiences.

Before I got into teaching, I naively assumed that teachers would be given all the materials they needed in order to teach the required core curriculum, and that what teachers created themselves was just gravy. Oh, how wrong I was! I was lost my first year, begging and borrowing anything and everything I could get my hands on to help students learn the skills on which they were being tested. I was hired at a school with an established reputation and high scores–I certainly did not want to mess that up as a first year teacher! After struggling with my first year of teaching, never able to find good materials I needed to help my students meet the demands of district and state testing requirements, I decided that I needed to design my own. I spent an entire summer, day after day, creating and writing materials that helped my students learn and appreciate the required core literature, the skills and concepts of the California Content Standards, the grammar, the writing, the vocabulary, quizzes, tests, essay prompts!! Finally, I had created my first Literature Guide.
After using my materials with HUGE success and sharing my success and enthusiasm with my colleagues who wanted to know my secret, I shared and created more for more of literature I had to teach. From there, after recommendations and nudges from my colleagues and family who felt I was on to something, I joined up with my mom (a former teacher herself) and opened an online store with four titles.
Now, with over 35 titles, six years later, blood, sweat, tears, and hours of lost sleep, here we are–Secondary Solutions–The First Solution for the Secondary Teacher!
