About me

About me!

Background info-

I'm honestly figuring this life thing out. To keep it brief, I'm the oldest child (you know how that goes), my siblings all vary in ages and personalities, with the smallest one being eighteen years younger than me. Jesus is the king of my heart and the reason that I breathe. Oh! And another thing, I've always had a passion for writing. I grew up humbly, and faced many hardships. But none of that defines me now. Being optimistic is one of my key characteristics and I can turn any situation into something positive.

Prior experiences-

In education, the only technology I've had to use is what's been provided to me. Desktops at the computer lab, calculators with buttons that didn't work, or surviving the nightmare that is group projects (it's terrible when nobody wants to do their part - one time I had to write a research paper, designing the study, the “participants,” the variables with one other person because the rest of our group bailed. Let's just say it wasn't pleasant and I hardly slept).

Hopes and dreams-

To not only learn about different technologies and how to use them efficiently, but to take away the knowledge I’ll obtain and apply it to different areas of my professional life. I don’t plan on becoming a teacher (though I appreciate those who do), but I can still make the most out of this class.

    Welcome to EME2040! It's totally fine that you don't plan to become a teacher. While many of the assignments will require you to create classroom materials, there will be many opportunities for you to pursue topics more relevant to you. I really appreciate that you are keeping an open mind about it!

    Bianca!! Love you girly, and I love that you are so bubbly and outspoken in your get to know you section:) I love how you make your personality shine through your writing (because it is so funny!!), and I really appreciate your formatting because I didn't even think to make headings and all of that. I'm really excited we get to be in a class together!!

    Hey Bianca!! I really enjoyed reading your post! I can completely relate to just trying to figure this life thing out! I think everyone can relate to that. I love writing also!! Lets talk about it :) I totally feel you on the whole being stuck doing the majority of group work thing. That happens to me all the time!! I think its really cool that you are still taking this class even though you aren't planning on being a teacher! Its awesome to be open to learning new things and experiencing new people!

Blog post #1 Why use technology in the classroom for grades K-12? There's a multitude of reasons. If you think about it, the times have changed tremendously between when your parents went to school, when their parents went to school, and so on. In my opinion, to teach effectively, executive school boards need to keep up with the times. For example, it'd be odd to stroll into a classroom today and all of a sudden, there's chalkboards, overhead projectors, or  see students watching a movie from a VHS tape on one of those thick TVs resting on a mobile stand. There's a certain responsibility when it comes to finding relevant resources and technologies for use in the classroom.  I also believe that technology, in a way, keeps students engaged. It's similar to an infant's need for stimulation at an early age. In a show, the colors and sounds are captivating to them. It aids in their development. And to those who argue that technology is taking the roles and job...

Blog Post #7 Twitter? How's that been? Twitter has been a fun time, I'd say. I like how I get to be creative with my posts, and it's a somewhat informal setting. I get to find memes that match my tweets, come up with interesting hashtags, and overall learn how to use the site. Before this class, my experience with Twitter was limited. I just remembered a very old account from 2013 and I'm trying real hard not to cringe. Wow, what a different time. I didn't keep up with it because my excuse was always "I wouldn't know what to post." But now I'd say that it doesn't matter (it does but at the same time, it doesn't; just depends on your motives). The whole point is to speak your mind. For this class, I understand that it's supposed to revolve around education, but I still have creative freedom with it, to an extent. My favorite part is searching for memes or reaction pictures. I tend to crack myself up.  Weebly It was an inte...
