About me
My name is Melanie Wiscount and I’m a teacher, educational technology instructional coach, and learning designer with a total of 22 years’ experience in rural and suburban education, along with the last 10 years teaching and coaching teachers in urban education. Inside the first 19 years, I taught grades 6-8 for five years and grades 9-12 for 15 years, teaching both levels in two years. Since 2006, I’ve coached teachers on how to use educational technology (EdTech) tools in their middle and high school classrooms with high student engagement as the result!
Additionally, I taught for 4+ years in higher education in both private and public universities and community college, teaching education courses at the undergrad, masters, and doctoral levels. Now, I work as a Learning Designer at a public state university and loving creating the most engaging learning experiences for our undergrad and professional students.
My mission is to help secondary education teachers with technology in their classes and content. What I bring to you is what is tried-and-true and works to engage students! Know I’ll support and guide you with everything tech!
