My Story

My name is Laura Meyer; however, I still show up here as Laura Johnson (I'm still working on the name change).

Laura is goal-oriented, determined, and focused.

Laura chose UW-Stout for her master's because of the user-friendly format for those that have to work full-time. She has a goal to become an on-line-educator soon. This has been the impetus behind getting the graduate certificate.

Currently, Laura is a 7th and 8th grade reading teacher in her 8th year at Nashua-Plainfield Middle School. She is already pretty tech- savvy, and has a website for both her students and her. She sees the value of the internet, and wishes to share this with her students as well. Feel free to visit this (well-done) site at http://lmeyer.iowapages.org. 

One thing that most people don't know about Laura is that she collects frogs. One of her best friends and her sister share her affinity for collecting frogs. They started around relatively the same time, but didn't find out about one another's shared hobbies until their collections became extensive.

Another cool fact is that Laura got married this summer. Her husband is the special someone that she couldn't give up because he always supports what she does, even if he may not quite understand the effort and time put forth to pursue some goals.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about Laura. She is sure to add both technology and teaching experience to our group, as well as friendliness.
