1-28-2016 EDEL 2200 Tech in Ed Class: Google Apps

It looks like I am going to have to get a lot more familiar with the internet gadgets that future teachers will use! I have been a Google Chrome fan for awhile and use gmail and google maps and google search. And I have done a blog before, but it was like, 10 years ago! So it is "high time" to get busy and learn all about blogging again and to learn how to efficiently use the other apps that available free through Google!

1-15-2016 EDEL 1010 Intro to Ed Class: Service Learning

I am hoping to do my Service Learning Hours for Utah Valley University's Intro to Ed and Exceptional Students classes at Midway Elementary School. Midway Elementary is one of four public elementary schools in the Wasatch County School District. Midway City is located on the east side of the Wasatch Mountain Range in the Heber Valley and just over a mile from the city limits of Heber City. Midway's population has increased from 2100 in 2000 to over 3800 in 2010! All elementary schools in our county have some Dual Immersion classrooms and some all English classrooms. Midway Elementary is surrounded on three sides by residential, single-family homes. On the south side, there is an open field/pastureland. I will have some photos to post soon so you can see this cool school! Last semester I had a Service Learning Experience where I volunteered in the library at JR Smith Elementary School in Heber City. It was a great experience and my first exposure to Dual Immersion Programs. I am looking forward to learning more about Dual Immersion and the services available for special needs students in our district.
