My name is Arian Alford. I am currently a sophomore here at Texas A&M University-Commerce. I am a math major with a concentration in secondary education and a minor in coaching athletics. I am part of the Chi Omega sorority here on campus. I was born and raised in Greenville, Texas. I am a very outgoing person and I like to be involved. To keep me busy, I have many hobbies and interests. I am a huge sports fan. I like to play and spectate sports. My favorite sport to watch is professional football, while my favorite sport to play is either volleyball or softball. Sports have been a huge part of my life. Another hobby I have is that I love to craft. I like looking ideas up on the internet and crafting out the ideas. I am in a sorority, so this hobby is beneficial. My goal is to be a high school math teacher and coach.
Educational technology is becoming more and more important in our lives. Technology has really progressed over the years and is being used in ways that we never thought possible. When it comes to education, having this technology is very beneficial. It gives teachers a better way to contact students and parents. It also helps the teachers to share and use resources for their students without wasting all of that paper. Teachers really want their students to know as much as possible and technology is the key to doing it. The internet is filled with information that can really improve the students knowledge. If homework and test are turned in through technology, then it is easier on the teacher when it comes to gathering and grading. Now, considering I want to be a math teacher, I do believe that I will definitely still need technology, but the use of it will be different than with other subjects.
In this class, I plan to learn good and easy ways to use technology when teaching in my classroom. This will strengthen my knowledge and make it easier for me to teach. I hope to make an A in this class. It is a big goal for me. Also, I hope to learn about my classmates and see the different thoughts they have on different topics. Feedback is the best way to learn and know how well you are doing. I hope that I learn a lot in this class and better myself with technology.
Nice to meet you Arian, My name is Jenna Brobeck and I think it is great that you are so lnterested in technololgy. Becareful that you don't forget how to write, I find that the more I use the computer the worse my handwriting gets; or maybe that's just because Im getting old. Who knows, Most importantly becareful that you dont loose yourself in technology, you may one day need to grow your own food or go camping with your children. It might be embarrising if you don't know how to pitch a tent. Good Luck with your ventures,
