I'm Stacey Kramer and currently I am a student at Full Sail University in the Educational Media & Design Technology (EMDT) Online degree program.
===================================
I teach computer technology to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders at Kirksville Middle School in Northeast Missouri. This is my first year in this position and I love every minute of it. I recently transferred from 6th grade English at KMS after a 10-year stint.
I have a Journalism background which includes a Journalism & Mass Communications MA degree from New Mexico State University. Investigative reporting is my first and foremost passion; my family says I bleed black ink! I worked for the Las Cruces Sun-News and El Paso Times before moving to Missouri and becoming a teacher. I earned a BA in Elementary Education from Buena Vista University and a MATL in Curriculum & Instruction from Nova Southeastern University online. I also received a graduate certificate in Natioanl Board Teacher Leadership through National University online to help me through my National Board of Professional Teaching Standards process, which I became national board certified in middle school English. I love to read and write, and I pass this passion onto my middle school students as well as my own three daughters. I also have a minor in digital print design, and I am a 100% techno geek. I love all things technology. I think this is an amazing time to be on this Earth, as we get to watch this radically cool technology unveil itself right before our vary eyes.
================================================
My husband of 19 years is a musician of 31 years, who plays guitar in a local band, as well as an in our church’s praise and worship band. He also does digital recording, and gives guitar lessons. Together, we own a local coffee shop and roastery, The Mocha Hut, – a hobby turned business.
I am also a mom to 3 girls. The oldest, 16, is “profoundly” gifted, the youngest, 11, is “profoundly” gifted, and the middle, 13, is developmentally delayed (by 8-10 years). Because of our middle daughter’s disability, I have become a Special Olympics coach and participated in The Polar Bear Plunge!
