About Me

I do not claim to be technologically advanced. I laughed out loud when reading Digital Immigrants because I am definitely that person who will print out a document to revise rather than make the changes on the monitor. Although I am fluent in Facebook, I am ignorant to Twitter. I think I had joined a blogging site at one time back when technology hovered at about AOL 4.0, but it was called "Open Diary" and was very juvenile.

So anyway, I have read the articles on Digital education and the changes that are taking place within the education systems concerning technology. Although these advancements are rather exciting and as a prospective teacher, I would desire to "engage" my students. I will admit that I fall behind the curve when it comes to things like "pod casts" or "digital; story telling." I do own an iPod am was ecstatic when i realized my car had an "aux" jack for me to listen to the thing out loud.

I am a graduate student at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH. I have recently graduate the Bachelor's program with a degree in English Language and Literature. I will admit that I am a little old school about education and I prefer to hand write my essays, which is exactly what I did for my final in my last class of the degree.

I work full time at an insurance company providing quality customer service to our members. I do not wish to get into great detail about my employment, but just know that I hate it and cannot wait for my education to really propel me into the education field. I also work part time at a Brazilian Steakhouse, which I love, but it takes up any last possible second i may have for freedom, therefore I resent it as well. I love English, I love kids, I hate working. What better job than to be a teacher, right? HA! I think I may be in for a bit of a surprise...

I currently reside in Derry, NH but will be moving again within the next couple of months. I find it hard to live in any one place for longer than a year at most so I am constantly shuffling my material possessions and 2 cats from apartment to apartment. Its hectic but it adds a certain flair to my life and personality that I feel would be lacking otherwise.

Anyway, I look forward to advancing my knowledge about the digital media and how it can be applied to the education system, and essentially to my life. I am more than eager to polish off my old typing fingers and get our assignments underway! I look forward to our future discussions and interactions!

Yours,
Jenna Moore
