I am currently working on my master's degree in "Integrating Technology into the Classroom" through Walden University.  Through the courses in the program I hope to learn how to effectively use technology in my third grade classroom.  I am privileged to be part of a school that is blessed with a lot of technology and I am excited to learn how to use these resources to engage, encourage, and motivate my students. 

Last year was my first year to use a classroom blog with my students to keep parents and friends updated on our classroom happenings.  I plan to improve the use of the classroom blog and want to venture to using individual student blogs for journals and/or writing workshop.
