Using technology as a teaching tool in the classroom is commonplace. But Taylor Thigpen takes the use of technology a bit further to communicate with the students’ parents throughout the day. That has earned the CIU alumna the title of “Teacher of the Week” at WLTX TV in Columbia.

Thigpen teaches first grade at Killian Elementary School in Columbia. She earned her Master of Arts in Teaching from CIU in 2013.
