- Mrs. Castleman asked me to be a TIME teacher. This is when my instruction and the way I teach truly changed. I fully emersed myself in the use of technology in my classroom. At first, I found that I was only using my SMARTboard for daily routines such as calendar and signing up for lunch.

- As the year progressed, I worked on incorporating various games and activities from the web into my lessons. I started bookmarking sites and making lists of my favorite places to find information.

- Connected with other TIME teachers, MaryJo Coleman, to create digital book buddies.

- I presented for the first time at Pete & C Conference in Hershey, PA
 * Shared resources along with Anna Gawel, Laura Robino, Traci Landry and Kathy Marshka

- Started a classroom blog to share with parents: Miss Yarzabek's Blog

- Started using Voicethread and Photostory to create stories with the students
