Me and ETEC!

My name is Terra Brown and I am future middle school math teacher. I am a hardworking, dedicated, individual who spends time reading, studying, working as an event specialist, and also helping young children around my neighborhood.  Currently I am a senior at Texas A&M Commerce and will be entering internship next semester. I will be graduating in fall 2012 and I am more than ecstatic. Right now I am currently pregnant and will be expecting a beautiful baby girl on October 29! She will be name after by my biggest motivator, my grandmother, who keeps me pushing and exceeding all my goals! I am too excited about becoming a mother and has over bought items for her based on my addiction to shopping. I’m afraid when I have my baby shower very soon that most of the items I have will be doubled!
My version of technology in classroom would consist of all the new items invented that can help with enhancing education. As you know, most of today’s world is made up of technology and must of the things that we must use, desire knowledge of them in order to secede in everyday living. It is important that teachers of today are technology inclined so our students won’t fall behind in today society. It is important that we implement technology in some of the lesson that we give. Have your students to go home and think about all the activities we participate in everyday that would not be useable for people who are not inclined in technology. My students would also be able to let me know what different types of technologies that might want to use while learning. These are things such as blogging, videos, music and much more. This makes class and learning fun for your students and also gives the students a chance to continue to like school and the subjects that they are learning.
My goals in this class are to become more knowledge able about technology. I also want to get new ideas that I might be able to add in my classroom. Before this class I never have really create a blog. Overall I Think it is really cool and can have my students to create one and go home or in class, discuss some of the things they have learned, how they can use it, and what they like or dislike about it. This will give them a chance to use the computer and also blog which is something that a lot of them do on their computers. This will give them a chance to get away from the usually pin and paper and also gave them ideas on creative things they may want to do with blogging in the future. I would also like to learn some easier ways of creating a web page that my students can go on and get assignment that we did a class or for parents to get a look at what we are working in the classroom. I created web pages in the past but they are very tedious and require too many steps. Hopefully I can learn a different way of creating one and hopefully my students and parents will appreciate it.
