first technology post

This is my first post required for my Educational Technology class.



I choose to talk about how using youtube as a resource to access videos for your class. Prior to being at UAB, I had not seen youtube used for an educational purpose. Now, most of my classes use the site to pull up and show videos that pertain to the topic we are talking about in class.
The site is practically dummy proof. You don't have to login or sign up to use youtube. All you have to do is go to youtube.com and search for whatever topic you are looking for. The search engine will pull up several pages of options for the user to sort through and find the video they are looking for. There are videos for all ages on the site and will be usable in our class rooms.

Not Sure

I'm sort of new to this whole blogging thing. I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I had to create this site for my education and technology class.

I guess I could tell you about myself. I'm pretty much an open book, what you see is what you get for the most part. I'm an energetic, friendly, out-going person. I love people and community. I am currently at UAB to finish my school in education. I am driven to finish as soon as possible in order to get into a class room and teach. Just this spring I started back to school after two years off and have found it an incredible adjustment to get back into the swing of things. I am taking 18 hours this summer in order to load up as much as possible and finish sooner. Uab doesn't seem to want to get me out as fast I'd like, but I know I will get there soon enough.
Until I'm done with school I will be randomly babysitting in order to help pay some bills. Sounds exciting doesn't it. I'll bet you're jealous...


I suppose you should be looking forward to more posts as the weeks go by. Maybe I'll get the hang of this blogg thing.
