Hello! My name is Sofia Sferra and I am a junior Elementary Education major with a minor in Nutrition. I used a picture of myself from Camp Tecumseh. I am a camp counselor in the summers, and it is my very job and place in the whole world. I am from Chicago, IL which is why I used it as my location. I loved growing up in the city for all of the diverse people you meet and there is always something fun happening. I grew up right next to the Cubs stadium, Wrigley Field, so I love the Cubs and anything sports. I am looking forward to this class because I do not feel like I have a lot of knowledge on this topic so I am excited to learn useful information on ways that I can use technology to benefit my students in the classroom.
