self introduction

Hello everyone,
This is my first blog on blogger. I've never been assigned a blog before, so I guess it means I have to show some restraint and not say whatever comes to mind. Let's get to it. This is the first time I have used the google version of blogger, although I have blogged before. I am competent (some might say..."literate") on the computer, and I have an iMac at home, although it's a 10.2, so it must be a paperweight by now.
As for my educational experience, I am a graduate of CSU Chico, where I obtained my BA in English with a minor in creative writing.

I am currently taking this class as a prerequisite for the multiple subject teaching credential program in fall. Upon completion, I hope to get into a 5th or 6th grade classroom. I do have experience working with children, but not really teaching them the way I am learning how to; mostly I have done volunteer work in classrooms, and I am with a lot of kids in my current job (at a petstore) but that is a retail environment.
And lastly, let's talk about what I am expecting to get out of this class. I know the technology is moving faster than I can keep up with (I was already surprised that our first assignment was to write a blog). I hope that this class will not only share new technology with us, but teach us how to adapt with it, and embrace it in our classrooms.
That was a far-too-serious note to end with. Not my style at all. I sincerely apologize to all of my long-time readers and will improve on this for next time. Bailey out.
