What Inspires Me To Teach With Technology?
My interest in technology was sparked during my
student teaching internship. My supervisor wanted
to try a new method of supervision using video
conferencing.  I thought it was an interesting
prospect so when she asked for volunteers I was
first in line. I've been hooked on learning new
technologies ever since.
I realize that technology is the future of
education and that the field has some catching up
to do if we are going to properly prepare our
children for the future workplace. I want to be a
technology advocate as a public school teacher
and spark others interest as mine was.
