About Me

I am currently enrolled as a junior at the University of South Alabama. I am earning my bachelor's degree in Secondary Education Mathematics. As educators, we should focus on future generations to ensure that they succeed to the best of their abilities. In order to achieve this goal, educators must be willing to constantly learn and motivate their students to use new forms of technology inside and outside of the classroom. Educators must be self-motivated lifelong learners. As future generations go through school, the use of technology will become mandatory in schools. It is our job as educators to lead our students in their use of technology so that they can better themselves and their educations. We are not going back in time, so educators need to put down the pen and paper and pick up their computers. My ultimate goal is to equip my students with the knowledge and tools necessary to raise the bar in education with the technology generations.

Google Tools


Google has many great tools available to its users. In some sense, Google can take the place of Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. The best feature about Google tools is they are FREE! This makes them a great candidate for classroom usage. Because Google is on the internet, anyone can view their presentations, documents, etc. from anywhere that has internet access. This means students will not have the excuse of leaving their USB or forgetting to email their project to a teacher. Google tools are extremely user friendly.

Google presentations can be opened using Microsoft PowerPoint. Blogger is another awesome tool Google has to offer because it allows everyone with a Google account to create a blog. Blogs are extremely useful for writers, students, and educators to share their views and opinions. I will continue to have a professional blog throughout my years of teaching. I plan to expand my blog to have many followers and other teaching professionals so that we can share our opinions and views. My Blogger account will be a major part of my PLN. Teachers should most definitely share Google tools with their students because it is extremely easy and cost effective.
