Welcome to Mrs. Geek Chic.com! I’m Larissa Aradj, Teacher-Librarian & Media Literacy Teacher at a downtown Toronto school. I am also a Google Certified<\/a> Educator, Trainer, Innovator #TOR16, Apple Distinguished Educator (2019), Digital Lead Learner Mentor and Toronto District School Board Excellence Award<\/a> Recipient 2018.<\/p>\n

I’m not new to blogging, however, I’ve changed my audience this time. I’ve been running and maintaining school-wide and classroom blogs since 2007, still in education, yes, but this teacher\u00a0blog is a new adventure for me.<\/p>\n

I love creating and sharing teaching resources!! As an FSL\/French Immersion Teacher I often struggle to find good, quality resources in French. I hope to help make life easier for teachers who aren’t so tech savvy and to motivate them to try new EdTech (and other!) teaching ideas. Getting started with technology is the hardest part, in hopes my “EdTech du jour” tips, tricks, ideas & resources will inspire you and bring out your own inner geek.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out #LLPSLLC<\/strong> for my teacher-librarian adventures, ideas and Fab Lab\/Makerspace fun on Twitter & Instagram.<\/p>\n
