Wiki Wiki

Thursday was another milestone in my technological journey. I learned how to use a Wiki. Wikis are AWESOME. I am still trying to get more familiar with using one, and also how to even use to word "Wiki" properly in a sentence. Ha ha. The next time my roommates and I need to plan something, I am going to propose using a Wiki. The only downside I have seen to using the Wiki for our class has been the fact that only one person can edit at a time. However, it doesn't overshadow the pride I feel when I talk about Wiki-ing (sp?), and my friends look at me like I am a techno genius. Score!

Expectations for this Course

I am always interested in learning ways to simplify my life. By doing so I can be more efficient, and have more time to devote to my future students. Most importantly, being a teacher requires there to always be an open door for communication. Learning the many technological aspects of education will allow me to be a better commincator to my students and their guardians, and also keep the whole process organized. I expect to learn how to blog, use spreadsheets, web diagrams, and use taskstream to ultimately create an impressive portfolio. I have no idea what a wiki is, and am eager to learn how to use one. Also, I want to have created a professional resume by the end of the semester. I am hoping this class will help me to be more marketable when I enter the job force one day.

Hi...Let's be friends

My name is Alexandra (Ali) Murphy. I am from a small town an hour south of Nashville. I have always enjoyed interacting with children, and helping them learn in unconventional ways. My dream job is to be a Resource teacher at an Elementary School. I am pursuing two Special Education licensures (modified/comprehensive), along with K-6 and early childhood education. I look forward to getting to know everyone in here!

I now pronounce you blog and blogger...

This is my first ever post on my first ever blog! Perhaps I should mark this on my calender.
