Lauren Reeves

I am a graphic design teacher and yearbook advisor at Wimberley High School in Wimberley, Texas. I also work part-time as an Instructional Resource Specialist for SMART Technologies and a freelance graphic designer. My areas of focus are branding, layouts, instructional resources, and online curriculum.

​

I began my teaching career in 2006 using my BBA in Marketing as a business teacher at Lehman High School in Kyle, Texas.  It was during my time there that I discovered my love of design.  I was asked to switch positions in 2010 in order to begin teaching graphic design and illustration techniques using Adobe software programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. From the years of 2006-2017, while teaching at Lehman, I became certified in Business Education, Technology Applications, Marketing Education, and Art Education. During those years I also initiated a recycling and screen printing program and acted as the Career and Technology Department Head. 

​

In August 2017, I made the decision to leave my long-term teaching position at Lehman and move my family to Wimberley.  While teaching Graphic Design at Wimberley High School, I was offered the position of yearbook advisor and web admin.  As a web admin, I update the school website and write a newsletter to parents weekly. I also serve as the Junior Class sponsor, Prom Committee sponsor, UIL Journalism sponsor, and National Technical Honor Society sponsor. 

​

In 2021, while working as a full-time teacher, I started my personal learning journey working toward a M.Ed. degree in Educational Technology. 

​

The purpose of this electronic portfolio is to reflect upon my progress within the M.Ed program in Educational Technology.  My hope is that it accurately reflects my development and growth in the field of Educational Technology.   In order to accurately reflect my achievement in the program, I’ve organized this portfolio into five different sections that hold the information needed for proper evaluation. Each page in the portfolio is intended to reflect upon my personal experiences and professional goals by housing specific examples of lessons learned and integrating those experiences with advice to myself as well as others.
