Hello everyone, my name is Amie Sutton and I am in my fourth year of the elementary education program. Some things about me are:
-I have a Boston terrier named Daisy
-I love 80’s music
-I love the colour pink
-I love tacos & burgers
-I work part time as a care provider for individuals with disabilities
EDTC 300 is one of my elective classes that I am to take and I chose it because I am interested and eager in learning more about educational technology. I know that phones are a common technology item to use every day and that students use in classrooms. But, they are currently being banned from the classroom with mixed opinions being attached to the ban.
I have experience with blogging using edusites in other classes. It has taken some time to get used to, but the set up with the categories this time seems pretty straight forward! I enjoy blogging to get my thoughts out and to learn more from other people. I look forward to learning in EDTD 300!
Sincerely,
Amie
Hi Amie,
You sound like a very busy person! I used to be an aide for palliative care and people with disabilities. It can be a tough gig. You are right; there are so many mixed reviews on banning cell phones from the classroom. Some students use them to listen to music, and some students use their phones for research projects because they don’t have consistent access to computers at school. Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself with us. Take care.
