I would like to introduce myself. My name is Chasina Worman and I live and work in my hometown of Ketchikan, Alaska.  My current position that I have been in for the past six years is Information Specialist in our local school district.  I function at the Central Office and have a range of duties.  My top priority is to manage our student information system, but I do everything from managing educational software, teacher training/support, website maintenance, public relations, state reporting, supporting our on-line learning program, supporting on-line testing and providing data.  Before entering my current position, I taught at an elementary school and have a MAT in Elementary Education.

I love my home of Alaska.  Where I live is a small island about an 1 1/2 flight from Seattle.  You can not drive off of the island. Fishing and hunting are a way of life.  I grew up commercial fishing, working on a seine boat. My favorite past time is cooking all the fantastic game and fish that my husband brings home.

I am currently pursuing the degree in M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction: Educational Technology Leadership. While I have a MAT in education,  my prior degrees did not cover much in technology.  Every day I am emersed in technology and what it can offer to our district.  However, I feel that to grow, I need a better foundation.  I am looking forward to learning.
Education is at a turning point.  We now have more options than ever before, and technology changes how we can deliver education.  I look forward to learning and discussing how as the educational system changes, which we are still making sound choices that are best for students.
