Hi! My name is Nicole and I am taking ED 429 as part of my teaching degree requirement and I want to use a lot of technology in my classroom. Kids today are very techno savvy and not only do I want to keep up with them, but I would really like to get that "wow" factor in my lessons. I have used computers quite a bit for school and for online computer gaming. I recently retired an online character I have been playing for six years in a massively multi player online fantasy role-playing game called EverQuest. This character was at the highest level of the end game, and although the social aspect was immensely enjoyable, the amount of time to keep her number 17 on the server significantly ate into my real life after changing time zones by moving to Alaska. Through that game, I gained a lot of experience with online forums, search engines and communities. In real life, I have been married to a military man for 17 years, and we have three beautiful children. Two daughters, 14 and 11 and one son who is 8. We also are caring for a 15 year old girl until her father returns to the Fairbanks community. Home is where the military sends us; which has been California, Washington, Virginia, Japan and Alaska. My husband has also served in Korea, the Philipines and Iraq.
I am really looking forward to this class.
