Personal Introduction

My name is Janet, and I'm originally from Wainwright, Alaska. I am a junior here at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Currently, I'm pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. I plan to teach in rural Alaska, but would like to start out in Fairbanks. I would like to teach primary grades at first, but I will be happy with any position I am offered. I'm really excited to beome a teacher. My mom was a teacher and I saw first hand how much her job impacted her life and others. I look forward to taking this class and learn how I can use technology in the classroom. I really think that technology is the key to success for our youth's futures. The younger generation today have a lot of skills with computers and technology. If I can learn about different approaches to teaching with technology in the classroom, I feel I will be more effective as a teacher. I'm really excited about this class.
