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.

Wms Thing #2

Until today I had no prior experience with Blogs.  As a result, setting up a blog for me appeared a little difficult.  However, as I continued to navigate through the various tools, I am becoming more familiar with them. I anxiously await learning more.  

Initially, I viewed Blogs as being similar to Facebook posts.  However, after spending the last couple of days on Blogger, there is appears to be a distinct difference.   While facebook is more of social networking, blogger affords journaling and networking experiences.  Because of the distinct differences, I selected a name that pertains to me at this very time and place (my last name, my current and future role in society).   Basically, I am a Soldier preparing to be a teacher.

Setting up my avatar was interesting.  Not only does she have my hairstyle, but she has a laptop in her hand.  Since entering Grad School, my family swears that I sleep with my laptop in my hand.  Today's students have an immense amount of knowledge in the use of technology. As an educator I aim to stay one step ahead, even if that means sleeping with my laptop;).

  1. Stephanie, I love your avatar! I may go back and put a laptop on my avatar as well. I know what you mean about blogging for the first time. This is my first time too. I'm having fun, though. It's very cool to meet another SPeD student!
