About Dr. Durbin
My name is Dr. Becky Durbin. I was most recently a K-2 technology integration specialist in suburban Chicago. Technology integration is my passion! I love seeing students' faces light up with excitement when technology engages them in learning. My hope is that technology makes learning more fun and exciting while simultaneously increasing student achievement. Technology can enhance and expand the ways in which teachers aim to meet learning standards. I enjoy working with primary school teachers and students because they are so excited about learning and school. I hope that we never forget to build on the energy they bring and the natural curiosities of young learners. We must continue to teach in ways that encourages children to be resilient, to be creative, and to be problem solvers.
I am currently living abroad with my family in Amsterdam, The Netherlands with a plan to return to Chicago in July 2022. It has been a great adventure being in the world and exploring new things! |
