Intro. and Technology

Hi,
My name is Debbi and I am in my second year at UW Oshkosh in the Elementary Education program. I started with a great cohort and am excited about continuing this semester. I work full time at UW Oshkosh Head Start at our Seymour center. This will be my fifth year teaching in the early childhood setting. I am married to a very supportive husband, who coined himself "Mr. Mom" after an accident left him disabled and in charge of the "household" chores. We have 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. Crystal is 13, Rachel is 12, Nicholas is 11, and my youngest present is Leahla who just turned 4.

I think technology is incredibly awesome. I've seen many changes since I was in high school, when computers first came out and we had to run our own programs. I also think it is hard to keep up with the many changes that technology holds in store. You blink, and everything you own is outdated:) I know if I have some problems keeping up, I just ask my "techy" children and they can help me in a nano-second. I understand the importance of using technology with students, but have not had the opportunity to do that with the age of students I am teaching and the program I work for. I think technology can be implemented into the classroom quite easily and the children will be able to access it easily.
