Getting to know me by BarrientosPerkins, Evelyn https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec Introduction Padlet for new classmates en-us 2019-05-07 00:52:55 UTC 2024-06-02 16:05:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/80264060/cdf38ae2d21ee13c036196e76c1eb262/Backback.png What do I do for a living you ask? ebarrientosperkins https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430685 I am a very busy woman!  I teach Spanish online for Illinois Virtual School.  I am also an EL/Bilingual teacher for one of our local elementary schools.  I just got the position this year after earning my endorsements through DU.
As you can imagine, I am very busy, but I would not have it any other way! I rather be busy, than bored.]]> 2019-05-07 00:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430685 Who am I as a learner? ebarrientosperkins https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430687 I am a doer. I learn best by doing things, by failing, feeling embarrassed and committing the new skill to memory. I love to learn new interesting things, that can be of use during trivia night, or to impress my children and students with my "knowledge". But joking aside, I am an eternal learner of anything that I find interesting.]]> 2019-05-07 00:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430687 What do I love to do? ebarrientosperkins https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430688 First of, I love to read romance novels on my Kindle, specially when I am stressed out.  I love that I can enjoy them, and not have to think.  Second, I love watching Game of Thrones, and I hate that I had to wait over a year to watch it again, and it is the last season! ]]> 2019-05-07 00:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430688 Who am I? ebarrientosperkins https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430689 My name is Evelyn Barrientos-Perkins.  I am originally from the Dominican Republic, and now live in Carbondale. I am married and have two children. My son is soon to turn 16 in June, and my daughter will be 11 in August. I have a Bachelors degree in Spanish Education from Southern Illinois University.]]> 2019-05-07 00:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357430689 Profesional Goals ebarrientosperkins https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357435674 I have many goals, but the main one is to be the teacher my students need. I want to know that I made a difference in their lives, and that their time spent with me meant as much to them as it does to me. ]]> 2019-05-07 01:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357435674 Why am I taking this class? ebarrientosperkins https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357436402 Well, to be honest, the first reason is to finish my masters program through DU. The second reason, is because I like learning about new technological developments that could help me be a more effective teacher, but also one that can help her students learn about and be safe when using new technologies.]]> 2019-05-07 01:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ebarrientosperkins/m1u5o8l9avec/wish/357436402
