About Me and Expectation of tpte 486

Introduction

My name is Kacy Amelia Slayden.  I am from Nashville, Tennessee and moved to Knoxville four years ago to attend UT.  I knew all along that I would be a teacher, I just insisted on considering all sorts of other things first. Nevertheless, it was education all along and I am now graduating in May with a Bachelors degree in psychology, and a minor in elementary education.  The fun isn't over yet though, I was accepted into the Masters education program, urban/multicultural cohort.  I will finish next May with one year of student teaching under my belt and a Masters in Education!

Aside from school, I come from a big family of 7 siblings, I love them dearly.  I have a lovely boyfriend that I get along great with, I have a church here in Knoxville that is my home, and I go to the Great Smoky Mountains as often as possible.

Course Expectations

I expect to learn all kinds of useful information about technology, its use in the classroom, and how to make the absolute most of it.  This is supported already by the first couple weeks of class.  I thought I was relatively technologically proficient, but it has been made clear to me just how much I don't know. I can't wait to see what this course brings to my teaching toolbox, I am a full supporter of technology in the classroom.
