Hi, I am Karla Wheeler. I am a mother of three children: Karla, my seven year old daughter, who is currently in a Transitional First grade classroom and diagnosed with ADHD; Mollee, my four year old daughter, she is currently in a Pre-Kindergarten class, very energetic, and manages to wrap everyone around her little fingers; finally, Mordie, my two year old son, whom I am currently having some crazy adventures with in potty training.
I love reading, I believe it is a gateway to so many opportunities for everyone, not only children. In my time off from school, which at this point is not much, you will find me spending time with my children, playing games, baking, and going on as many outings aspossible.
I am a future Early Childhood Educator, currently studying at Edinboro University. My classes this semester include Environmental Biology, Children's Environment, Play and Active Learning Approaches to Early Childhood Education, Technology for Education and Field Experience. I am currently in a Second Grade classroom for my Field Expierence, more to come on that later. I have a passion for the education of all children, I hope to make my future classroom a fun, exciting and enjoyable experience for everyone involved in it!
My expectations out of the Technology for Education class is to learn how to incorporate the use of smart boards, ipads, computers, and any other new advances into my classroom. To rate my technology skills I would say mine are a little deficient, I do as much as I can to incorporate different ideas into my lesson plans, but could definitely use some help. I believe technology should be used to enhance learning, although learning should not be based using solely one technological source or idea.
We have to embed a video, I have not come across one geared toward education that I wish to include yet. This video is about wolf-dogs (wolves that have been bred with domestic dogs). Wolves are one of my favorite animals, since this is an introduction about me, this seemed appropriate.
