https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro Introduction en-us 2016-06-28 22:48:08 UTC 2025-12-05 17:46:16 UTC hello@padlet.com brittneyjackson918 https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625613 I live in central Missouri where I spend most of my time hanging out outside (if it isn't too hot) by the pool, or fixing up my old-outdated home.  I have a four year old daughter who keeps me on my toes.  She is involved in dance, swim lessons, and tumbling.  Therefore we find ourselves pretty busy during the week. We spend our free time coloring, dancing, and reading books.]]> 2016-06-28 22:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625613 brittneyjackson918 https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625731 I am a 2nd grade teacher at South Callaway R-II Schools.  I teach in the Early Childhood building where our youngest kids are in Pre-K and the oldest kid is in 2nd grade.  I teach the "big dogs" of the building!  I've been teaching for 3 years at South Callaway.  I also teach summer school in Jefferson City.  

I would eventually like to teach a math class in middle school one day. However, right now I am enjoying the hugs and high fives I get from my little 7 and 8 year olds.]]> 2016-06-28 22:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625731 brittneyjackson918 https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625841 I have a goal to become a master in the kitchen. Preferably, just with baking. I have spent a lot of my free time when my daughter is not at home baking cakes, cookies, cake pops, pies, cupcakes and so much more. So far my apple pie is the only recipe my family has asked me to repeat again. I know with practice I will get better. ]]> 2016-06-28 22:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625841 brittneyjackson918 https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625952 I use technology more than I think I do.  I use it in my professional life mainly through the iPADs.  My district has provided each student K-12 with their own iPAD.  We use them in the classroom for reading/listening to eBooks, practicing math facts with apps, and sight words with literacy apps, practicing spelling words with online games, and so much more.  I use it in my personal life for paying bills, watching TV, downloading music, workout routines, etc.  The list could go on and on.  ]]> 2016-06-28 23:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115625952 brittneyjackson918 https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115626062 I hope to learn new ways to integrate technology into my classroom. I feel very privileged that my students each have an iPAD, but sometimes I feel like we don't use them enough in my classroom. Especially, since my students are only 2nd graders. I am hoping I can learn new ideas to share with my students, and my building.  ]]> 2016-06-28 23:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyjackson918/EDU581Intro/wish/115626062
