Hi, I'm Melissa Greer! Before I became a digital learning coach, I taught high school Latin for 6 years. In my free time, I like to cross stitch, read, spend time with my dog, Zeia, play trivia with my boyfriend, cook, bake, and decorate custom cookies. I also love traveling (when it's safe) and enjoy being a generally curious person. I am also a big fan of honey bees (which is what Melissa means in ancient Greek)!

I'm working on my Doctorate of Education at Valdosta State University. It will be my biggest accomplishment when I'm done in a couple years!

I love Canvas, because it made my life as a teacher so much easier with the Speedgrader, integrations with other platforms like Nearpod &amp; Google for assignments, and the customization options.

It has been a pleasure to be the Instructional Technology Coordinator for Newton County Schools for the last five years. My job is to ensure that all teachers know what technology tools we have, and how to use them effectively. We are now a 1:1 district and we have even more technology tools and resources available than ever before. Let's put our resources to work to make sure that NCSS is truly the BEST! Contact me at 770-784-4943 or via email if you have any ideas to share or need help to implement a tool in your classroom.
