I am a teacher at St. Peter Interparish School in Missouri.  I have been teaching for seven years.  I graduated from Lincoln University with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and and Associates Degree in Early Childhood Care and Development.  Immediately leaving undergraduate school, I received a job at St. Peter as a preschool teacher.  I served in that position for five years, and moved to kindergarten for these last two years.  Currently, I enjoy the young, active age.  I am happy to have experience with a wide age level of students, especially since I am considering administration.

I am currently enrolled at in the Graduate Program at WWU to earn my Master's in Elementary Administration.

At home, I am a wife and mother. My husband and I will be celebrating our wedding anniversary in July. I am a mother to two children who are very active in swimming lessons and dance lessons. I want to give my children an opportunity for a variety of experiences. I also want this for my students.

I enjoy technology but I also think that it needs to be used appropriately. I am a person who likes variety and I think there is a healthy level of technology. I teach very young children. In the past, I have had some students who do not want to participate in a lesson unless it involves a screen. I want to offer technology that is beneficial for learning and students' health.  I would like to learn some new things to offer to my students.  I also want to advocate for the appropriate use of technology for all age levels, as I also believe that students will need the knowledge in technology as they mature to adulthood.

My strongest expectation for this class is to gain more "tools for my toolbox."  I want to gain insight and experience into more programs, so that I can offer technology, in more ways, to my students.  I also want to use this information to allow my co-teachers to use these tools to enhance learning in their classroom.

2An interesting fact about myself is that I enjoy doing crafts. My top three favorite crafts are cake decorating, photography, and crochet. I have been crocheting since I was seven years old.

I have used technology as a teacher to enter grades, communicate with parents, and I blog. I use technology in the classroom mainly for SMARTboard use. I do teach at a parochial school, where funding is limited. I will have the accessibility to more technology as I continue to advocate for what is necessary.
I use technology at home as I use photograph editing software, I am the sole computer manager in our household. I also tweet and use Facebook.
