My name is Sarah Showalter, and I currently serve as the Educational Technologist (ET) at Herbert J. Dexter Elementary School, a part of the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). I have served the Department of Defense as a teacher in the Dependents Schools for the last twenty years. My journey began in Guam at Andersen Middle School, where I initially worked as an art teacher. I later transitioned to Seoul American Elementary School in South Korea, where I taught for four years. During this time, I took the opportunity to explore many countries, such as Japan to include Okinawa, Vietnam, China, and Cambodia.

After returning to the United States to marry my college sweetheart, I rejoined DoDEA when an art position opened at Herbert J. Dexter Elementary School. I have been a valued member of the Dexter faculty for approximately 15 years, having taught art for five years before transitioning to my current role as Educational Technologist and Technology Coach where I have remained for the past ten years. My husband and I are proud parents of two wonderful children.

I support the faculty and staff of Dexter Elementary in a variety of ways. I promote district initiatives such as student goal-setting, enhancing student engagement in the classroom, promoting student agency, and gamification. In my role as Educational Technologist, I serve both as a coach and co-teacher, aiding teachers in the effective integration of technology into their teaching practices. I am committed to discovering and implementing new tools and ideas that align with our goals, with a particular emphasis on fostering creativity, collaboration, and student agency.
