My Experience With Educational Technology

Hello everyone! My name is Kacey, and I am in the Pre-K-5 Elementary Ed Degree Program! I currently live in Regina, Saskatchewan with my family. I am married and have three sons. I also have a cat named Skye and a golden retriever named Sport. I am technically employed with Regina Public Schools as an Educational Assistant, but I am currently on maternity leave. I have slowly been working towards my Ed degree for the last couple of years online, and my class preference is online. I have my first in person class this semester and I am enjoying it a lot!

My experience with educational technology is limited. I have used some programs while working with in the school division since as google classroom, Padlet, iPad, google read and write, google docs and Microsoft office programs like PowerPoint. Other than that, I have not played around with a lot of technology. I have just started myself on a social media purge as it was becoming addictive, I think social media is ruining our kids, though it has its benefits for sure. Overall I am excited to see how technology can be in the classroom and learning how to use some of these new skills will help me teach them to my students.

Blogging for me is a new experience, unless you count the old age of MySpace, I have not done online blogging. Blogging takes a lot of work and the people who keep up with it are amazing. I, however, do not have the patience. I really like pictures though and I think a picture blog would be more up my alley. Blogging during this course will be a bit of a challenge for me I think, so we will see how it goes! business women looking city scape and social network connection technology. network connection concept
