=Ode to EDC 672= =Welcome to my Wiki!=

My name is Kristi and I'm currently a full time teacher at Canaseraga Central School District, a full time wife and mother (although my family might call me part time due to all the hours I put in at work and for homework) and a part time grad student at Buffalo State College. My undergrad work was completed at Texas A & M- Corpus Christi.=====

My teaching assignment for the past 4 years has been "Computer Lab Teacher." I teach basic computer skills to grades k-6, and "Computer Utilization" to 8th and 10th graders. I LOVE my job! Before teaching computers in Canaseraga, NY, I was an elementary teacher as well as a 6th grade math teacher in Corpus Christi, TX.=====

Since I need to have a Masters degree to continue teaching in New York I started looking at program options once I became certified to teach. Originally I had planned on becoming a counselor, then I landed a long term sub position teaching computers... and the rest is history.. I looked at several programs and finally decided to make the two and a half hour commute to Buffalo to study Educational Technology because I felt it was the right program for me. I have not been disappointed, which brings me to the creation of this Wiki....=====

EDC 672
THE MICROCOMPUTER IN THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM -Increasing the effectiveness of instructional programs through the use of microcomputers: selecting microcomputer software; fulfilling the specific curricular needs of learners, and aiding the management of the instructional program. During the past semester I have been introduced to many new instructional tools to help me in my classroom. This wiki will be a summary of my learning and a collaboration of the information I have learned and hope to retain for future usage.Most importantly, I want this to be a reference page for myself and others to use as we move our classrooms into 21st Century Learning Environments.
