My name is Brianna Merritt and I am a student at Edinboro University. I'm currently working toward a degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. I absolutely love working with kids and I hope to make it my career one day. I think that teaching kids is a beautiful reward and I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
Aside from being a college student, I have many other interests. I love to read, write, listen to music, hang out with friends and family, and more. With the "normal interests", I also have some interests that maybe some people wouldn't think of. For instance, I'm very interested in the paranormal and earth based religions. I'm different, I guess you could say, because I like to explore all the possibilities life has to offer. I am a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a niece, a friend. I am who I am, and I don't change that for anyone.
When I think about technology in the classroom, I tend to see both the positive and negative aspects. Technology is very valuable to teachers because of all the benefits such as the time saving, better graphics, easier teaching methods and more. When you use technology in a classroom, some kids learn better. This also allows the children to be independent and word at there own speed. On the same note, though, it could also hinder a child's education because they all have different learning methods. So, honestly, it's hard to say that technology is always beneficial but it's definitely a reliable resource in the classroom.
