=Hi this is a wiki page for Shelly B.=

My name is Shelly Budinger and I teach science at the Bucktail Middle and High School in the Keystone Central School District. I teach Science 7 and Science 8, as well as Anatomy & Physiology Years 1 & 2. This is my second teaching assignment, and I have been teaching for a total of 7 years. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. One interesting thing about me is that I recently went completely crazy and attempted 12 credits within a similar time period. I must admit that when I completed the first six, it was as if a weight had been lifted. At the end of this year, I will have Masters +60 credits. One thing that I hope to learn in this class is how to work with more technology so that I can become a better digital immigrant and be very comfortable with the technology that is currently available. I think that technology will be growing by leaps and bounds, and we might as well join the effort and interest our students more, rather than fight the effort. I am a lifelong learner and am committed to being the best teacher I possibly can.

My favorite game to play would have to be Yahtzee. My 18 year old son and I used to play it all of the time. Secondly, I would need to add that I love to play volleyball and I am rather competitive. Most of my spare time lately is now spent hiking with my awesome dog and preparing for local hiking challenges in our area. Our first challenge for the year is this Saturday, March 27th and will only be a 12-13 mile hike. The elevations promise to be intense and I am truly looking forward to it.

The following picture was taken in a class last year, Anatomy and Physiology 2. The students were dissecting that same day, and I am the one in the crazy colored coat from Steve Spangler Science. Enjoy!
