What is My Philosophy?
My mission as an EdTech Educator is to help teachers confidently integrate technology into their classrooms — not just for efficiency, but for empowerment. Technology is not going away, in fact, it is just going to get more and more amazing and I believe that great teaching and great technology go hand in hand. In fact, have you ever noticed that the word “Tech” is just “Teach” without the A?
To me, TECH is more than a buzzword — it’s a mindset for modern education:
T — Transform learning experiences
E — Empower teachers and students
C — Cultivate creativity and connection
H — Harness the power of innovation
When teachers feel supported and equipped to use technology with purpose, every student — regardless of learning style or ability — has the opportunity to become a champion.
Let’s bridge technology and teaching — so every child becomes a champion!

TEaCH:
Tech Transformation MEGA Suite
Why I Created the TEaCH Mega Suite
I created the TEaCH Educator MEGA Suite because today’s educators are navigating a rapidly evolving world of educational technology—and most teachers are expected to keep up without the time, training, or support they truly need. Technology changes fast, AI is reshaping classrooms, and new tools appear every month. But what teachers really need are practical strategies, clear guidance, and realistic systems they can apply immediately, not overwhelming theory or scattered resources.
At Child Champions, I believe that thoughtful, intentional tech integration has the power to transform teaching and learning. I also know that educators deserve professional learning that is organized, easy to follow, self-paced, and grounded in what actually works in real classrooms. That’s why I built the TEaCH MEGA Suite as a complete professional development library—designed to help teachers plan smarter, teach more efficiently, and create meaningful, engaging learning experiences for every student.
Whether a teacher is building foundational EdTech confidence or ready to explore advanced AI tools, the TEaCH MEGA Suite provides everything they need to feel supported, empowered, and future-ready in today’s digital classroom.
