Hello!

Hi! I'm Lisa Dexter! I am an elementary education major, specializing in language arts.
     As for my technology background, I would consider myself a fairly mainstreaming/adapting technology user. I am certainly not on the brink of all the latest and greatest technology, but after I see other people test new things out, I will typically jump on the band wagon if it is something that fits into my lifestyle. In working with the internet, I tend to stick to my daily routine of checking e-mail and facebook in the morning and at night, googling when I am in need of anything, and when I have lots of time, checking out anything I happen to stumble upon from friends sites, google suggestions, etc.
     My expectations for this course are to find new technologies to implement into a classroom setting that are not only easily accessible for students, parents, and colleagues, but that help me too. I love to be organized, so taking advantage of online calendars, e-mail, a classroom web page, are all technologies I could foresee being beneficial to others as well as me. Through this course, I hope to become better acquainted with useful resources for my classroom and my professional and personal life as well.
