Introduction/ Blog Post #1

I am taking this class to get  re-certified in Elementary Education.   I got my education degree at Auburn University.  I taught kindergarten for ten years in the Mobile County Public School System.  I am married and a mother of three wonderful children.  I have decided to go back to work, since my children are getting older.  I have lived in Mobile for the last 35 years, however, I have lived in Virginia, Germany, Texas, Georgia, Thailand, and Kansas.  My interest and hobbies include coaching, decorating, swimming, horseback riding, oil painting, reading, gardening and volunteering at school or church.

I decided to take this class to help me be a better teacher, especially when it comes to using current media and technology in the classroom!  I feel this is one of my weaknesses because so much has changed in this area since I last taught.  I hope to learn a lot from this class and I look foward to working with all of you!
