About Kimberly Holaday
My name is Kimberly Holaday, and I am a teacher in South Carolina. Although originally from Michigan, I moved myself down south after graduation from the University of Michigan-Flint to teach 7th Grade English Language Arts in Goose Creek, South Carolina (about 20 minutes north of Charleston). After concluding my fourth year of teaching, for some crazy reason I thought that teaching 13 year olds was not stressful enough. Therefore, a couple years ago I started the Educational Technology Masters Program online through Michigan State University. Although some days I really wondered what I was thinking, with every course I completed in the program, I knew I made the right decision. What kept me motivated was that I wanted to reach my students and provide them with a meaningful modern education. This past summer, I completed the program and have been able to incorporate the many wonderful tools I've learned into the classroom. Now, as a 6th grade Language Arts teacher, I've been able to see first hand how technology can supplement lessons and learning immensely.
