About the
Librarian...
Brief Bio:
Margaret (Peggy) Sheehy
(formerly Peggy Norton) received a BS in Musical Performance and Education from
Empire State College.
She began teaching in 1997 at
Mt. Sinai Elementary School in Mt. Sinai, New York and
was also a district technology trainer. After receiving
her Master’s Degree in Educational Technology from
Stony
Brook University, she became an advocate for technology
in education, and presented her ideas and experiences at
technology conferences and workshops throughout the
North East. She received the Technology Teacher of the
Year for two consecutive years from
ASSET, (Association
of Suffolk County Supervisors for Educational
Technology) where she presented "Tomorrow's Classroom
Today".
In
2003, she returned to the New York area and serves as
ITF/ Media Specialist at Suffern Middle School. Very
active in the district’s teacher technology training
program, she is a fierce advocate for the
meaningful infusion of technology in education and in
2006 established an educational presence for her
district in Teen Second Life: Ramapo Islands. After
great success with the first group of 400 8th
grade students, Ramapo will serve over 1000 students in 2007.
Her latest
venture,
MetaVersEd Consulting Ltd., supports the
proposal, design, acquisition, and implementation of
education in MUVEs. Ms. Sheehy believes that engagement,
edutainment, and the authentic applications of 21st
Century technology in education is paramount to
preparing our students for success in the “flatter”
world.
