Mrs. Morgan has a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology and a K-12 Library Media Certificate. She has recently completed an endorsement in Gifted Education and is now teaching classes for accelerated learners in third and fourth grade. When she was recognized as a Milken Educator, Mrs. Morgan was a fourth-grade teacher at Cottonwood Elementary School in Salt Lake City. Her students used computers to organize ideas and create video presentations. They wrote and compiled a multimedia storybook illustrated with hand-drawn pictures and digital images. As the school's technology facilitator for many years, Mrs. Morgan assessed her colleagues' technology skills and taught after-school courses on using technology to enhance instruction and enrich student learning.
