Through her work to create a fully inclusive digital learning environment, once librarian has earned an honor that highlights her efforts.
On June 26, Idaho Public Television named Faye Nagler as its 2024 IdahoPTV Digital Innovator. Nagler is the Moscow School District Elementary librarian and STEM coordinator.
The honor is given to recognize an educator in the kindergarten through 12th-grade system “who goes above and beyond” with the use of technology by integrating it into classroom learning.
“Mrs. Nagler drives her STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) program with the mission of ensuring all students have equitable access and opportunity to learn and explore many technology and digital learning formats,” said Brian Smith, principal of Westpark Elementary in Moscow. “This includes utilizing coding programs, various robotics, as well as exploring the vast world connected to keyboarding and the utilization of personal laptops.”
Smith went on to say that Nagler’s passion, energy and tireless work ethic led her to write grants to fund technology use in her program. He said she inspires her students with her drive to create a digital learning environment.
“We are honored to welcome Faye to the IdahoPTV Digital Innovator family,” said Kari Wardle, education manager for Idaho Public Television. “We were so impressed by all that Faye does for the Moscow School District, not only for the students but also for the other educators. She has been an inspiration to those around her, and I’m looking forward to working with her in the upcoming school year.”
With the honor, Nagler will travel to the Northwest Council for Computer Education Conference, provide her with a Classroom Innovation Kit that she designs, and she will then be a part of IdahoPTV’s team of digital innovators and educators to help teachers integrate technology into learning.
“Being a Digital Innovator lets me give students skills that they learn today and can build on in the future,” Nagler said.
