About me...
I'm currently a Junior at the University of South Alabama, majoring in Elementary Education.
My Philosophy on Teaching...
I plan to implement my contribution to my student’s education in the following ways: a open and trusting relationship with all of my students, a constant awareness of classroom curriculum and ever-changing educational technology, a patience and understanding of students’ different backgrounds and environments, a patience and understanding of different students’ varying development and learning processes, a constant and effective relationship with the parents and guardians of my students to promote consistent success in learning, including the lessons of respect, cooperation and kindness in every day of class, setting an example of good morals in my everyday life in hopes of translating those morals to my students, informing my students of the importance of respect for the entire world, its people and the environment, by reflecting on myself often in order to make changes and improve me as a teacher for the sake of my students, and most importantly, my desire to make learning happen, all day everyday in my classroom.
So far, one of the most irreplaceable components of my professionalcareer, namely my schooling, is the programs that Google has created.... for FREE. However, one thing that strikes me as funny is that, most likely, when I start teaching, these resources will be completely outdated.
Some of the many Google Tools include:
- Google Chrome Web Browser
- Google Apps - Gmail, Google Calender, GoogleDocs - Great.
- Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus
- Picasa - I love it!
- Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar
- Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer
- Skype
- Google Earth - A great resource.
- Google Desktop - Something I recently downloaded.
- Adobe Reader
- Google Talk
- RealPlayer
