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.
Wow! That's cool. I am switching my major to that next semester. I also find working with kid rewarding. It's fun to see them grow and mature. Some don't, I know :), but a lot of them do. I never even thought about kids having different learning methods. So yeah, maybe it's not easy to say one way or the other
Thank you Tiffany! I really appreciate your view on things as well. It is definitely one of the most rewarding things you can ever do. Yes, every child learns differently, and it's amazing to see it happen. I would most certainly recommend this as a profession. I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
Hello, stranger whom I have never met before. I had to pick two blogs to comment on, and I found yours interesting! I mostly agree with your views on technology, we should see each other in person one day!
