Week 1-Introduction to me

Hi everyone!

My name is Elizabeth Crosby. I am currently a first grade teacher in Flomaton, Alabama. I was born and raised in Brewton, Alabama, which is about 14 miles from Flomaton. This is my first year working there and I absolutely love it! I am not married and do not have any children. I am very devoted to my career and also grad school. However, I am very excited that I will finish M.ED this Summer. My goals for getting this online degree is really to make myself a better teacher. I feel that it is extremely important for teachers to stay up to date on all the new research that is out there for us and to use it. Taking educational courses is just one way to do that. I am excited about this technology course, because I feel it will help me to integrate more technology into my classroom as well as improve the instruction I am already giving. I do not really have a favorite technology that I use, but I do feel that I use quite a bit it. Some of examples of the technology I am using are: computers, stereos, projector, ELMO, computer programs and the internet. I am excited to meet everyone in this class and cannot wait to learn new technology to use in my classroom!

  1. I am also finishing up, thanks goodness it will all be over for me in May. I am like you I really do not have a favorite technology either, but I am really fond of using the ELMO! Good Luck and I look foward to reading more. If I can get my blogs to download I'll be doing great- right now technology is not my friend... GRRRR.LOL!

  2. Hello Elizabeth,

    I would first like to say Congratulations. I think that taking this class will enhance my skills on how to implement technology into the classroom. I think that taking this class is a big advantage for me. When I start teaching I hope to use all of the information that I have learned to help my students.
