Miss Danielle Rush

After teaching music for 11 years (9 of those here at PB), I was finally able to be at one school, full-time, doing one thing! Except I’m wasn't teaching music anymore. In God’s gracious timing the Technology position opened here and I made the switch last year. This switch allowed me to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a while: teach children and teachers. Part of the technology position here at PB means I have time to help teachers learn to use programs and effectively incorporate technology into instruction. This switch also pairs nicely with my online master’s program in Learning Design and Technology through Purdue University that I will graduate from in December 2022.

In Technology class, K-8 students will be learning and practicing digital citizenship (e.g. how to stay safe online; balance media use; evaluate sources of information, etc.), coding, computer science skills, and STEAM careers (Science-Technology-Engineering-Arts-Mathematics). Students in grades 2-8 will also learn and practice typing skills. K-2 will also learn and practice using a computer mouse.

I’m also here to assist parents in accessing PowerSchool (to check grades), Canvas (grades 4-8), and SeeSaw (grades K-3).
