About Me: Though I was originally born in Waukegan, Illinois, I spent most of my life living in Southern Indiana. (Typical JBC Student) I did not grow up in the church and did not come to accept Christ until my freshman year of High School. I had a full ride scholarship to Ball State University for Graphic Design, but God sent me to JBC to Major in Media and Missions instead. Though my first intentions on attending JBC have changed since then, I now am on track to obtain a degree in Elementary Education (k-6) and ESL (k-12). I spent this past summer on a travel team for JBC. My team and I were known as Consumed, based of of Hebrews 12:28-29. Traveling for the school is actually how God showed me a hidden passion for kids and eventually led me to pursue a teaching degree. I work at the West Town Mall at the Apple Store. I am part of the Concierge Team, which is a fancy way to say that I greet and answer phones. I also have been hired at the Smoky Mountain Children's Home in Pigeon Forge. I will be working as a House Parent on Night Staff. Besides school and work, I enjoy photography, running, and musicals. I find reading enjoyable, but only when time allows.

Tonight in Educational Technology, we went over academic software. Academic software is software designed to assist and support both educators and learners in teaching and learning. While in class tonight, I had the chance to play with a variety of academic software such as Tux Paint, Google Earth, Kidspiration, Comic life and iPhoto. Each different software had its own table for me to use in a pre-planned hands on activity. Each station allowed for an oppurtunity to discover the interaction… Continue

The reason why I am talking about the term efficient is because of the correlation it… Continue

Tonight Mr. E made me recall technology that I used while growing up. The first thing that came to my mind was the good old Gameboy by Nitendo. I remember that I received the handheld gaming device as a birthday gift. I want to say that it was my sixth birthday. At the time, it was the coolest, new toy to have, mainly because you could play a game and move from place to place. I believe the Gameboy was the first game system to go portable. Besides the Gameboy, I also received the game… Continue
