1. Who are you and what are you going to teach/do as a result of the degree you're currently seeking?
My name is Nikki Garmany. I am going to be a early childhood educator with my degree from the University of West Georgia. I would love to continue my education and earn my master's degree in either gifted or hearing impaired education.
2. Why are you taking this class and how do you feel about that?
I am currently taking this class because it is required. However, I hope to learn a lot of new ways to incorporate various forms of technology into my classroom to better serve my students.
3. What do teachers/others need to know about supporting learning with technology and why do they need to know it?
It is important for teachers to understand and be familiar with new forms of technology in the classroom that can help their students learn better. Today students are growing up learning technology from an early age and it is important that you as a teacher stay up to date on what your students are familiar with as far as technology.
4. What do you hope to get out of this class?
From this class I hope to learn new and interesting ways to teach my students using technology in my classroom efficiently. I would also like to make an A.
5. What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to using
technology?
I like to use the internet and technology to keep in touch with my family and friends that live far away. I feel like my strengths are mostly in how to use things such as my digital camera and my iPod. My weaknesses are mostly in areas of software that I am unfamiliar with because I do not know how to incorporate new software beyond using it for school purposes only.
6. Anything else you'd like to add?
This is my first time taking a summer class. I am excited about getting this semester over with so that I can have a smooth semester and graduate in December! I am also currently debating on whether or not I want to stay in and earn my Master's Degree.

This is my first summer class as well. I'm taking it so my Fall semester will not be as stressful!! Good luck!
I think it's wonderful that you want your master's in gifted or hearing impaired. You always hear that there aren't enough trained teachers in the special needs area. Good luck!
It is good to hear that you already plan to continue your education by getting a master's degree. I think that shows initiative which is a good quality to have as a teacher. I plan on continuing into a master's program also. This is not my first summer class but I enjoy them because the information and assessments come quick and end quick. This will also lightened my load in the Fall because last Spring five classes was very difficult. Only taking three this Fall. Good luck and enjoy your summer.
