A Bit About Me

Who I am...

I am a student at the University of South Alabama and was so for about six years, due to changes in majors. I am doing Education with a concentration of Language Arts and finally settled. I am Hoping to do my masters in Education after I graduate in a field that will either involve teaching, counseling or supervising students and their learning. I have a strong interest in literary material and teaching others, which is why I chose that path in my higher learning.

...and what This Blog is About

In this blog, I will demonstrate my interests as a student of Education. I will show the different tools and teaching methods that I prefer to use on my students as a teacher. The purpose of my interests as this blog will show is to let teaching more efficient and to make my students be capable and independent adults.

Podcasts

I believe podcasts are very important technological tools that educators should use in their teaching for a number of reasons. Podcasting provides the function of posting videos online and teachers can take advantage of this by posting educational videos for their students for extra detailed help, especially children who learn at slower paces. This function can be used by the students to make presentations and other assignments also. Podcasting also can make teachers stay current in their knowledge on current information regarding teaching/education/children. It also can promote communication with the community, by providing information on the school's events and with the parents by providing information on their children's advancement. All in all, it is clear that podcasting is a very valuable tool in today's world of teaching.
