| Hi to one and all. This is
a main index for all of my online creations. I started out by making
one page as a class assignment. Now, it seems, that one seed
has blossomed into many pages, and there doesn't seem
to be an end in sight. I am a mom who went back to school to
renew my Indiana Teacher's license now that my girls are grown. I
am currently enrolled at Indiana University NW Campus where I am finishing
up an Educational Computer Endorsement. The Internet has added a
new dimension to teaching, making learning to integrate computer
technology into the classroom both fun and challenging.
I look forward to having a class of my own soon. I am licensed to
teach history, government, geography, and sociology. I have taught
a class in Computer Literacy at our local Adult Education Center.
The class is an introduction to Microsoft Office '97. I was also
an 8th grade US History teacher for the School City of Hobart after I graduated
from college and before my children were born.
I am currently a substitute
teacher at the area schools. And now that my family is grown,
I am looking forward to returning to the classroom. The Web site
I created called Class
Notes was a graduate class assignment, and is one I would
like to use as a teacher in my own classroom. I think is it important for
students to know how to use a computer, and how to utilize the Internet
for research. The Internet is quickly becoming the largest
primary source of information in the world. Knowing how to utilize
the Internet's vast resources is important for both teacher and student.
I also think using the Internet as a teaching tool adds a new dimension
to the subject matter.
"Who dares to teach must
never cease to learn."

The idea came from Teacher resource material from the Holocaust Museum. |
