My name is Sarah Hopson, and I currently live in Jackson, Missouri. I am elementary art teacher in the Jackson R2 School District, and this is my fourth year as an educator. I am originally from Sikeston, Missouri, and I graduated from Mizzou in 2015. Sikeston is home to the original Lambert's, where they throw bread rolls to you!

Regarding technology, I have used technology in both my classroom and within my personal life. Of course, I use technology for my courses. I am learning a great deal about new applications online for further engagement for my students, some of those apps include: SeeSaw, Artsonia, Google Classroom, and Google Treks. Within my personal life, I have used YouTube, Facebook, Art Illustrator, and more for my business and to connect with others. There are countless outlets for technology, and I am learning more about new programs all of the time. Furthermore, it is the reason I chose to pursue technology for my masters program.

Several other facts about me include: loving horror movies, avid "Office" and "Parks and Rec" viewer, and lover of all animals and nature. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, of which I have two dogs, one sister, and two amazing parents.

Regarding this course, I am excited to learn more about the opportunities for multimedia within my art classes. As a young educator, I am constantly learning about new material for my students, and what keeps them engaged. Times are always changing in the classroom, so any and all new information is vital as I add to my curricula. I'm also always looking forward to hearing from new classmates within the course; like I mentioned before, any advice is welcomed!
