What I'm hoping to learn...
I guess one of the main things I'm hoping to learn in this class is how computers and technology can be used in the classroom in a way that is not distracting for students. While I do understand why and how new technologies can be so advantageous for learners, my experiences in the classroom tell me that iPads, laptops and other flashy technology are just as distracting as there are helpful. Obviously, it is important for our students to be literate and savvy in new technologies, so I'll be looking for ways to best use and teach new technologies in a way that does not become too distracting or too flashy for my kids.
What's my technology expertise level...
I consider my tech expertise to be of a higher level.
What grade I'm hoping to teach...
I'm hoping to teach high school social studies.
How long I've been teaching...
While I'm not currently teaching now, I have over 2 years of ESL experience and a half year of high school economics experience.
Something Interesting...
While I wouldn't necessarily considered things I'm interested in interesting to other people, I do have an acute curiosity for oral historians, good storytelling and American folklore. I'm a native of Montana and my ancestry can be traced through the copper mines of Anaconda and the prairies of Wibaux county.
