technology in classroom

As far as using blogs in my classroom or encouraging my students to use them in the classroom, I do not think it is a great idea. I think that encouraging students to blog will make it very easy for them to cheat and share answers, and as a teacher I do not have the time to sit around on the internet for hours and try to make sure this is not happening. Blogging to me is a more personal hobby than something for the classroom.
However, I do believe that some technology is very helpful for students that are strong visual learners or have a difficult time seeing the white board. Powerpoint presentations enable students to become more involved and can be more capturing of their attention than watching a teacher constantly write or having to just sit and listen, and hopefully not fall asleep.

A little bit about me

Hi everyone, my name is Ashley, but as you can see by my go-by name I am a blessed mother. I am currently a junior at Commerce and my major is English and Literature for secondary education. I am married, and my husband and I just welcomed our first child and son, Kevin into the world 3 months ago. He is such a blessing and I love him dearly. A little bit more about me, my favorite color is pink, as you can see, and I am a sucker for Romantic Comedies; much to my husband's dismay lol.

I hope this class will help me to become more computer literate, because right now I know basics and that's about it. Which of course I need to know more before I start teaching. Hopefully I can keep up.
