About+the+Author

=__**﻿The Author**__= My name is Tricia Shynkaruk and I am a SMART certified Educational Consultant working with Evolution Technologies in Saskatchewan. I provide professional development sessions, divisional support and work with teachers on integrating SMART interactive software and products within their classrooms. I have been involved in this roll for almost two years but prior was a full time classroom teacher for 9 years with the Regina Catholic School divison.

I have a passion for using this technology and have found that Saskatchewan educators have made great strides when it comes to succesfully integrating SMART into their classrooms. There are many teachers province wide who embrace the power of SMART and are continuing to develop new resources, lessons and activities to support our Saskatchewan curriculum each day. However, it has been my humbling experience after working with thousands of teachers and providing over 3000 hours of professional development to have one message ring loud and clear. Teachers are wanting to connect with one another, share ideas and resources but may not have a place to do so!

Therefore it is my hope by creating this wiki, at the very least, I can direct teachers I work with to a place where they can access and share resources. However I have also included a section on how to connect with others outside of this wiki. So perhaps they may even learn a little bit about collaborating with others whom share the same passion for SMART that we do!

Feel free to join this wiki and contribute! Post a question in our discussion area, add some resources and of course contact me if directly if you have any questions or need additional support!

Happy SMARTboarding! :)
