Blog #1 About me!

My name is Kelsey and I am from Lewis Center, which about 20 miles north of Columbus. I have a huge family and they live all over the country. Some live in Texas, South Carolina and Colorado, so I love to travel and visit them. I also enjoying being with friends, watching movies and being adventerous.
I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl and I have always had a passion for teaching. I came to Bowling Green State University because I liked their set up of the education programs, and it is one of the best programs in Ohio. Not only do I hope for a job when I graduate, but I hope to be as well prepared for a class full of students as I can be. By taking EDTL 303, I hope to gain new perspective of why technology is important in education, and new techniques I can teach my future students.
Technology is a vital tool in the classroom and education. As time goes on, new improvements and technology are changing. From my grandparents generation to my generation, their have been major changes, and I am usually the one who teaches them new things on their computer or cell phones. Technology is a great tool for early elementary students because it is a great learning resource, and if students learn about it when they are younger, it will be easier for them as they grow. A negative side of technology is students could depend on the technology for something, but if the technology is not working at the time, they may not know how to do it without the technology. Their are many good examples of technology such as the computer. The computer is an important tool especially for children with disabilities. The only concern of mine about technology is it is growing so fast and rapidly, it is not possible to know everything one can about technology.
