Scenario

     I am defined by my work ethic and dedication to me beliefs.  I have a passion and drive for agriculture, industry, and developing youth through positive experiences.  Through the years I have found that I have struggled through using technology.  However, I have combated this by opening my mind to use different applications and Internet sites.  This has been something I have been working on over a period of time and will be an item I will always be striving to better myself in. 
    I feel that technology is a must in all school systems.  As a teacher I must strive to enlighten students on what is out there and how to use it.  I know that many of my students will be brilliant at using different Internet and computer tools.  This is something I can use to my benefit.  I can learn from student experiences and give these ideas to other teachers and students who do not know of these either.  Technology can touch so many students in a variety of different ways.  Technology can aid in teaching students who struggle in terms of learning from a formal education in the classroom.  Computers now can make connections that teachers in the past could have never dreamed of! Tools that I find will be extremely beneficial in the classroom is pod casts and voice thread.  During school time, there are many instances where students miss classes from sports, sickness, and other reasons.  As a teacher I believe I can make shortened lessons and post them online where students can access them.  This will allow students to keep up even though they missed class.
   With all this passion and proactive learning, I hope it will take me far in the years to come.  In 5 years I hope to have finished my masters degree and be teaching at a junior college in Kansas!
