a little late...but about me

Hi everyone!!! My name is Katherine (katie for short) England. I am new to the graduate education thing. I just graduated from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut with my BA in Political science and minored in Criminal Justice. When not going to school I manage a tanning salon. I am slowly learning a little bit about education and how to do lesson plans and such. I am hoping to go into early elementary, kindegarten hopefully!!!

In regards to technology, I am all for it. I have taught both my mother and father how to use the computer, internet and just basic tools that can benefit them. Sacred Heart University is a completely tech-loving school. Included in our tuition are labtops (which i still have today). Many of the professors made it mandatory for you to bring your labtop to class for notes and internet purposes. sometimes it was very distracting, but in the long-run it made life much simpler for the students and the professors.

I hope to keep learning not only from the professor but from the rest of the class. I am usually quiet in my classes because I just like to listen to what experience and knowledge you who are student teaching or teaching full time have to offer. I know I will enjoy the rest of this course!
