About Me-- EDUC 6809 #1

Hello, my name is Polly and I am originally from Harpers Ferry, WV but currently am living Weirton, WV. I work in the infant room of The Goddard School in Moon, Pa. I graduated from FSU last May with a degree in Psychology and minor in Education. I am excitedly on track to graduate with my Master's in Professional studies in December! 😃 

From this course I want to learn so much more about media in the 21st century. I use it in most of my Master's courses, obviously because it is online. Learning new skills and websites can help make life easier and set assignments apart from others. In regards to teaching, it can do the same thing. We will be getting iPads at my job soon and I'm hoping I can learn new ideas to take with me to the classroom to help benefit my students and parents.

In the graduate program I have taken the following courses:
6300: Foundations of American Education

6301: Research in Education

6302: Advanced Studies in Human Dev.

6303:Adv Studies in Education Psychology

6304: Diversity &Disability

6305: Advanced Educ Tech and Media

6320: Students with Sp Lrn Problems

I am currently taking --

6809: Teaching in the New Media Age

6321: Students with Special Behvr Problems

6330: Introduction to Autism

And Finally, for Fall 2015 I will be taking the following--

6395: Action Research in Education
6315: Teach Content Area  Literacy

This ••21st Century Literacy ••video from YouTube is short and sweet. Times are changing and I am in charge of educating young people about how to succeed in this new age.

  1. Very creative I thought it was so cute, it really captures the new age of a media kid. My little niece Bella loves to read but we have gone from books to the IPad and let me do it myself Titi. She loves to take pictures on the IPad wait till she finds out she can record everything from the IPad. I am afraid I will end up loosing my contraption all together to a five year old. Who by the way explained to me where to find the stories she likes to read. So when I saw your image I said this is Ms. Bella.
