This is me


I am Tyler Werner and welcome to my blog. I am currently a 4th grade teacher at Dutton Elementary, which is part of Caledonia Community Schools. This is my fifth school year here, and my fourth as a 4th grade teacher. I absolutely love my job and the students that I work with and feel abundantly blessed to be where I am, even though some of the days and even school years seem like they are never going to end.
I am a 2008 graduate of Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids and am just beginning my master’s courses for the educational technology program. I am looking forward to expanding my understanding of how to properly incorporate technology into my classroom as well as find out new tools that I can use to engage my students on their level.
I am not what you would call a techie, I don’t even have or ever plan on having a Facebook account, but I do love to play around with different types of computer technologies. Most of my time outside of school is spent at home with my wife and dog, with as much of that as possible outside, unless the Tigers, Lions, or U of M (even when they are being trounced by Alabama) is on.
