In my personal life, I use technology daily. To take photos and connect with friends and family is the majority of what I use technology for personally. I also use tech to access news and world topics often to keep myself informed.
In my professional work, I use technology to help students get inspiration for new assignments and for students to research new topics and artwork.
I would like to utilize technology in new ways that are relevant and interesting to students. I feel that, with teaching high school I struggle to get students to try new things and give them a chance but on the other hand they get sick of "old" things that we use.

Likely the most interesting thing about myself is that on our Honeymoon, my husband Trevor and I swam with whale sharks off the coast of Mexico.
It was so incredibly cool, I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance.

My expectations for this class are to.... work towards building a better relationship with technology.
I really love the ways that technology makes things more accessible, for instance I can view works of art that I may never see in person! On the other hand, I struggle with keeping current with technology in my classroom due to it ever changing, and sometimes, due to lack of access.
It is my hope that this class will help by giving me a better pool of resources and a more well rounded understanding of positive ways to utilize technology in teaching and planning.
