Jing Image

I think this is a really good tool to have inside the classroom.When working with deaf students, I can use this tool instead of using Word document. The Jing is a fast and easy tool to have ready on any teachers desktop.

Experience with different web browsers

A browser add on is a toolbar or browser extension that can help you view or search content. Am example of a browser add on would be google toolbar. I have used FVD suite plug-in in another course. I have found add ons to be a pain because it seems to slow down my computer. I have had to install several add ons twice because the first application didn't work. I've also had to manage my add ons to increase my browser speed. The NETS A standard closely match this activity because they want to ensure equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources to meet the needs of all learners.

Introduction

      Hello everyone, my name is Kandi Campbell, and I was born and raised in Boone County, WV; however, I currently live in Buckhannon, WV. I am a 2009 graduate of West Virginia State University and my teaching experience began with Barbour County Schools in 2009. I served as a Long –Term Substitute Teacher last year. This year, I work at Belington Elementary School with the job title of Hearing Impaired/ Multi-Categorical Special Education Teacher.
      I expect to finish my degree in two years. After I graduate, I plan to take a position in a county that will hire me. My experiences with research have mostly been assignments and tasks throughout my school years; however, I have researched many topics related to the teaching profession.
       I am hoping to gain information about the history of the education profession and how to better research things by taking this course. It is my hope that this knowledge will better prepare me for my upcoming career in teaching.
       The unique thing that I would like to share with the class is something that happened to me this year. On the first day of school, I was introduced to students that were deaf and was told that they needed a teacher to help them. Coming into this position, I didn’t know sign language, but as the year went on I had to step up. In effect, they helped teach me sign language while I taught them.
