Steffi Marita Miland Svendsen

Utdannet allmennlærer ved Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus (2012). Har jobbet som lærer i to og et halvt år, og underviser i dag 7. klasse på Skjetten skole. Hun ble valgt som «MIEE teacher» i 2014, er kompetansepartner for Microsoft og en OneNote Avenger. Steffi er svært opptatt av å ta i bruk teknologi i undervisningen og hun har laget en Instagram-konto, Facebook-profil og Twitter-bruker for elevene sine hvor de kan følge sine egne skoleaktiviteter helt fritt når de vil.

«Jeg føler at det er viktig å fremme fordelene og stimulere til bruk av teknologi i dagens samfunn. Jeg underviser ikke bare for gode resultater; jeg underviser også elevene mine om livet og hvordan de skal lære å lykkes på egen hånd».

However, at Skjetten Primary School we all have one secret weapon—OneNote!
