About Me
My name is Jeanne Rogers and I am the Instructional Technology Specialist at Deer Park. I have been a teacher since 1974. I am originally from Holley, which is in Western New York, near Lake Ontario. I’ve also lived and in Colorado, South Dakota, and Indiana before moving to Florida.

I have been a teacher trainer for the Pasco County School District since 1989. Workshop topics include Multiple Intelligences, Cooperative Learning (Spencer Kagan), Middle School Endorsement and Bridges (our Middle School Curriculum program), I have had several ideas published in the Oasis Magazine and I even managed to find the time to write a book (Ideas in Bloom).

The St. Petersburg Times published several columns with web site suggestions for parents, students, and teachers over the past 2 years. Here’s one for online FCAT practice sites.
