Janet+Dubble


 * About me**: My name is Janet Dubble and I am currently working as the Instructional Media Specialist at the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit (IU 13) located in Lancaster, PA. I began my teaching career a "few" years ago as a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. It was at that time that I began using Apple II+ (yes, II+) computers with my deaf students and really learned about the power of technology in the classroom. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Master's Degree in Education of the Deaf/HH from Bloomsburg University, supervisory certification from Millersville University, and the PA Instructional Technology Specialist Certification from Penn State. After working as a teacher at IU 13 for more than 10 years, I moved into the position of Coordinator of Technology for Special Education, then eventually became the Instructional Technology Coordinator at IU 13. Two years ago, we were lucky enough to have Dave Solon, another PLP Fellow in this cohort, join our team at IU 13. He and I share the instructional technology adventure, with my focus on the area of digital media, virtual learning, and professional development.


 * PLP Experience:** This is my first experience with PLP. I met Will last year when he worked with our district curriculum coordinators at their annual seminar. We invited him back to our IU as a keynote speaker for our annual **Leading the Learning for the Net Generation** conference in June of 2010. I am very excited to be involved in this project and am looking forward to being a part of this cohort and providing support in any way that I can. We are about to embark in a unique professional development experience!

 * Hobbies and interests:** My favorite way to spend any free time I have is with my family. I have 4 young grandchildren that are the light of my life. I also play in the handbell choir at my church (that's me in the orange T-shirt), which I have done for six years and enjoy immensely. My husband, a retired teacher, and I love to ride our motorcycles and try to hit the wide open road as often as we can.
