About Me...

I am a student at the University of South Alabama, majoring in Elementary Education. I jokingly tell people that I want to be a school teacher when I grow up. I am a wife, a mother, and a full-time student. I am on an amazing journey, and I have learned so much more than I anticipated. I look forward to what comes in the next chapter of this book called life.

Tools of the Trade

Mountain Math on a Smart Board
Gone are the days that the main tools a teacher needed were books, chalk, and a chalkboard. The xerox machine replaced the mimeograph, and Smart Boards and dry erase boards are steadily replacing the chalkboard. As technology continues to evolve, so must we educators. Video casts, blogs, and pod casts will be added to my lesson plans to help me better connect to today's tech-savvy students. Some of the technology that I will incorporate into my classroom has probably not even be developed yet. Hard to imagine, isn't it.
