My name is Olivia Cowart and I am twenty one years old. I grew up in Mississippi and still live here as of now. I work at a pet sitting business called Carol’s Critter Care in Ocean Springs and absolutely love it. I currently attend the University of Southern Mississippi where I am studying Elementary Education with an endorsement in Science. I hope that once I graduate I will able to teach possibly fourth, fifth, or sixth grade in somewhere other than Mississippi. I have always enjoyed being around children so at first, I thought I would major in nursing and become a nurse in a Children’s Clinic. After attending a semester of Nursing School, I realized that it wasn’t for me and that the best way to show my love for children and love for Science was to be a teacher.
I am making this Blog to show my reflections on artifacts, “projects”, that I complete in my IT 365 course which I am currently taking. In my reflections, I will talk about what I have learned from the completed artifacts and what goals they may have met through certain NETS-T standards, NETS-T being the National Education Technology Standards for Teachers. In this class, I hope to learn more about web page development and certain softwares that are readily available and helpful to future and current teachers. I also hope to understand more about standards that teachers must follow such as the NETS-T and others. I have always had an interest in technology and feel that I have a good general knowledge of it. I hope this class will further my knowledge as well as my interest.
