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.

My Professional Class Blog

After reading Dr. Strange's post on our own EDM 310 class blog, I realized something. First, I realized I have an "intellectual trail"; I hadn't thought of that yet. Second, when I think back, I'm very happy with my current "trail". I have always tried to use my best and most appropriate ideas and writings in everything I put out into the World Wide Web. That includes Facebook, Myspace, email, school papers, online course content and now, blogs.

I'm very happy with my class blog from EDM and also this, my first professional blog. I confident that my content that could possibly become part of my "intellectual trail" will remain to increase in quality.
