My name is Linda Kimmel. I teach fifth grade math and language arts at McCook Central. I have been teaching for thirty-seven years.

This wiki will act as my ePortfolio for my Action Research Project. As part of the STAT 21 grant, I am excited to be learning new ways to improve my teaching. The eMetric reports really help me pinpoint individual needs as well as whole class deficits. The Achievement Series tests are great to use to identify standards that my students haven't met. The Achievement Series also helps me keep track of student progress. This year I learned the fundamentals of using a Smartboard and the basics of setting up a wikispace. I know that Smartboard activities and the use of wikispaces will motivate my students and improve their learning.
