My name is Jennifer, but feel free to call me Jenn if you would like. I live just outside of Bowling Green and have lived there my entire life (and I really don't get out too much). I live with my family and drive into Bowling Green almost everyday for classes. On my free time, I watch NASCAR races and cheer for my favorite driver, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. I also love going shopping with my friends and we go whenever we get the chance. However, since I have very little free time because of school and work, this is a rarity.
I am here for several reasons. The most important reason I am in this course is to learn how to use the computer to help me in my classroom. I would also like to become more knowledgeable when using different applications, such as excel and access.
I believe that teaching children at a young age to use the computer is important. Teaching them to type and use different applications will help them in their future school years as well as in their careers later in life. There are also many wonderful computer programs and games available for the children to use that will help them learn. I love many of the math games that are available. This not only provides a fun and easy way for a child to practice their math facts, but it assures the teacher that the students are practicing their skills outside of math class. I do, however, have a few concerns about students using the computer. The children should be able to learn to print and write; the computer should not be used as the primary tool to create their work.
