Introduction

My name is Sharon and I am from a rural area in Ohio. I love rollerblading, scrap booking, and being on the computer in my spare time. I also enjoy watching movies when relaxing with my boyfriend.
I am taking this course at BGSU in order to achieve a degree in Early Childhood Education. I love working with children, and I hope to gain many positive field experiences throughout my years in college. I want to gain more experience when it comes to working with Mac computers because I have had little experience with them. I also want to learn more about educational programs that are accessed on a computer.
I think that using technology in the elementary schools is positive because it allows children to expand their knowledge about computers throughout their years in elementary school, rather than just learning how to use them in junior high/high school, when they need to the most.As a future teacher I think that the computers are great tools because I will have more access to educational programs and other activities that will be beneficial to my students.
