About+me

My name is Margit Lanze. I am the Middle School World Languages Department Chair and Instructional Technology Facilitator at the [|Cary Academy]. I was born and raised in Germany and spent my early adulthood there as well. I moved to the United States in 1991 and have lived in Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina. My interest in foreign languages and foreign cultures led me to study English and French. I have taught French and German in private and public schools both at the middle and high school level for more than 15 years.

In addition to my love for languages and cultures, I am passionate about the use of instructional technology. In my tenure as member of Cary Academy’s Instructional Technology Team, I have solidified my understanding of pedagogically sound technology integration. I am eager to spread my knowledge and skills with my colleagues and love to see the spark in their eyes when they realize that integrating technology is not so difficult after all. I have presented at local and regional conferences and designed and facilitated workshops at the inaugural Cary Academy Summer Technology Institute in June 2012.
