Please find your picture and post a little bit about yourself here. See Dr. Fowler's example.

Greetings! I am Dr. Laurie Fowler and will be your guide and instructor for ED 505 this summer. I am very excited about showing you all the wonderful things technology can do. I am married to wonderful guy, Gus Davis, who is a retired teacher and artist. We live in Tuscaloosa and are very involved in our church, Canterbury Chapel Episcopal. I love being a geek girl, but I also enjoy reading, watching movies, and walking when possible. I also like to take pictures.

Hello. My name is Christina Lee and I am a twenty nine year old graduate student at the University of West Alabama. I currently have a bachelor of science in Elementary Education, and am pursuing a master’s degree in Education. Having a love for adventure and an eagerness to learn, I enjoy trying new things. Some of my hobbies include Scuba Diving, Painting, Drawing, and Photography. An artist, a mother, and a student, I enjoy working with children creating art. I feel as if art is important for children at a young age because it gives them an outlet for creative self-expression and also a means of communication. I myself, found a love for art at a young age, and have been very blessed to have encountered people throughout my childhood who have aided in helping my love for art flourish. My advisor, mentor, and confidant gave me a fabulous opportunity several years ago to teach an art lesson to young elementary students at Sumter Academy. As I was presenting information about Pablo Picasso to these young children, I knew that instant that teaching and integrating the Arts, was "my true calling." My son Jackson Lee Dickerson is almost five years old and has truly been my inspiration. Being a single mother and a student has not been an easy journey, but the obstacles I have overcome, the goals I have met, and the tasks that I have yet to achieve, have taught me that an individual who is driven with motivation and determination, can accomplish almost anything they put their minds to. Over the last couple of years I have met talented instructors and administration who have inspired me to become some of the wonderful teachers that they are. I hope to develop into an effective teacher with exemplary role model behavior whom not only inspires her students, but also instills in them necessary and valuable skills or tools, that they can use in their futures. ======
