As you now know, my name is Amber Myers. I currently live in tiny town in southwest Missouri with my two little girls.  We like to craft, sing, dance, and help out on my parents farm. We are always doing something; they sure keep me busy! We also have a dog named Jax and even though he is huge he thinks he is a child or a lapdog. :-)

From this course I hope to gain more experience and familiarity with the technology that can be implemented into my classroom and future classrooms. Even though it is difficult in the position I am currently in, I know how prominent technology is becoming in our schools and it is imperative that I am prepared for the time ahead when I can fully implement it in to my classes! It is exciting for me because I see from what I have already been able to use it for, the technology is comfortable for the learners I have. If I am better equipped to bring more technology in the learning processes then we will all benefit!

I am the first person in my family to earn a college degree- on both my mother's and father's side.

On a personal level I feel very comfortable using technology since I use it daily for everything from communication to grocery shopping and beyond! The use of technology in my classroom is something that I would like to get more comfortable with. I do use some(what is available) but we are a small district and are not 1:1 with devices yet so that also plays a part in how much I am able to use technology in the classroom.  We have used Google classroom for some units, StoryBoard, Kahoot, and Google Slides, so far.  I have also tasked the students with researching through a few smaller databases online.
