How It All Began: A Passion for Education
It all began with a young mom who has a passion for education and loves to create digital education resources.
My name is Danna, and I am the educator, creator, and designer behind Teacher Tech Studio. As a young girl, I knew I wanted to be a teacher someday. My mom used to say I had the smartest stuffed animals around. Right out of high school I was persuaded to go a different direction with my career, and chose to enter the dental field. I soon realized that was not where I was meant to be, especially after the birth of my son. I decided to leave my job and be a full time stay at home mom. A year and a half later my second son was born.
I was a busy young mom. During my “free time” I built a graphic design business, where I designed invitations and cards, which eventually developed into educational materials. It wasn’t until my oldest son went to kindergarten and I was spending time in his classroom, that I felt the pull to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. That was 14 years ago.
My Journey to the Classroom
I earned an M.A.T. (Master of Arts in Teaching) from UCA (University of Central Arkansas) and began teaching 5th grade immediately at the elementary school I attended as a child. I spent 7 years in the classroom, all teaching 5th grade. During my years in the classroom, Teacher Tech Studio became an extension of the business I had created previously.
I was given the opportunity to step out of the classroom to work full time designing and creating digital and printable education resources, and provide training and online courses and unit studies for teachers and homeschooling families every day.
Now I have the privilege of helping other educators around the world!
I love helping fellow educators, like YOU, to bring engaging instruction into classrooms all over the world. That’s why I create time saving classroom resources and activities for you to enjoy in your own classroom!
