Hello my name is Stephanie Farrell. I am attending UW-Platteville for Middle Level Education. I'm am from Mount Horeb Wisconsin. I grew up on a grain and pig farm with my younger brother.
My goals for this semester for this class, is to get better at using google drive and google docs. Before this class i had no idea all of the different things that you were able to do with google drive/docs. The fact that i can be working on a slide show and so can my partner but we don't have to be in the same room is AMAZING to me. I remember all of the times trying to have to meet up to work on a power-point, it was almost impossible to do so. I have recently learned, because of this class, how important it is to be connected. You can learn so much from twitter! Who would have thought? I will be able to take this into my classroom, this will allow the students to do many different things with their projects that i know i was not able to do while i was in school.
With this blog i will be marking my journey though this class. But also my journey though my educational life and becoming a teacher and hopefully then also carry it over while i am in the classroom teaching.
I want to be a teacher because when i was in seventh grade i had a teacher that was able to influence me and help me through my Math career. I was never the best at math, which turned into me not liking math. All of this changed thanks to one teacher. This teacher was able to get me caught up in math and then ahead. She was able to show me just how much of a influence a teacher can have on a student, because of this i want to be the teacher who is able to change the minds of students. Allow them to see the benefit of a class, and then have them be successful.
