Though I just established a Twitter account, I've enjoyed Facebook for over three years. Facebook was a great asset to keeping in touch with my family and friends during Army deployments. During peacetimes, I am able to plan events, share pictures, and maintain contact with friends and family members that I only see occasionally. Facebook also enabled me to find old friends and family that I'd lost contact with. Recently, I've joined and established groups that enable me to stay abreast of current and upcoming events. The Army Career Alumni Program (ACAP), 101st Airborne Air Assault Division, APSU, and now APSU College of Education ae just a few groups that I am a member of through facebook. For usage in the classroom, I initially thought establshing a Facebook page for parents and students (depending on age) to obtain information, updates, and reminders. After all who doesn't have facebook. According to the stats...not many. I was actually shocked that only 41.6% of U.S. citizens actually use Facebook. Many report it as a gossip column, but all of that greatly depends on your friend selection. Below is the link to my Facebook page

I am a wife, mother, soldier, and student. I am presently attending APSU pursuing a MAT in Special Education. I am very interested in teaching K-6 students with Learning Disabilities. I anxiously await my retirement from the military and my future endeavors in teaching.
