Introduction Post for EDUC 6809

                                                                 Introduction

Hello, my name is Ashley Stevens. I am originally from Fairmont, WV, but about two years ago I moved to a small town called Hundred, WV. I moved to Hundred for my first art teaching job and my now husband had a place for me to live so I went for it and got the job!  My first job at Valley High School was a great experience and I will forever remember those students. At the end of last year, my husband and I decided for me to try and get a teaching job in Marion County. Well, to say the least it worked out and I am now the art teacher at East Park Elementary. I teach to students in grades Kindergarten to Fourth grade. I really love my job and I feel very blessed that I get to teach what I love and make an impact on a child's life. Also, I am currently in the Masters program where I am going for my Masters in Professional Studies. EDUC 6809 is my last class to complete and I will be graduating this summer after completing the class.

                                                          Me and Digital Media/ Technology

What that I am trying to get out of this class is to be more comfortable with digital media and using it in my classroom. I feel that I do know how to use some things, but I feel with technology always advancing that I would just like to stay up to date with technology and digital media so my classes new and fresh. I feel it is important for me as a teacher to keep my classroom technology friendly. I guess that some people don't think that an art room needs technology, but as a teacher I know my classroom is lacking in the use of technology. The only thing that I have in my room is a projector and I use it in any way I can. I feel that trying to be up to date with technology is effected by my lack of technology in my classroom.
