Introduction
Since this is my first blog and since we have only had this class two times, I’ll start off by introducing myself so the rest of the class can get to know me a little more. I am a senior here at GV. I transferred in as a Junior in the Fall of 2006. I am an English major and a Sociology minor. I am interested in teaching Secondary Education.
Because I do plan on teaching Secondary Education, I am very interested in learning more and writing about standardized testing and the effect of technology in schools on students. I hope to learn more about why standardized testing is so important in schools and how schools around the country and maybe even around the world are incorporating this kind of testing into their schools. I hope by reading about standardized testing that I am able to explain to my future students the importance of it. By reading and writing about the effects of technology on students, I hope to learn new ways to incorporate technology into my own classroom.
The feeds that I subscribed to are New York Times Education and Google Reader Education. I am still looking at other major newspapers as well. I believe that these feeds are important because it well select specific articles that are important to education and by my reading of these articles, I will learn more about the field in which I want to be a part of.
