What about EDM310??

This is actually my second time in EDM310. I had to drop this course because I was overloaded with my other classes. When Dr. Strange says to devote at least 9 hrs. a week in this course he is telling the truth! This course is a little overwhelming for me because I do not do the whole social media thing for various reasons. I have heard this is a very demanding class, so if you have trouble managing your time (like me) I would not wait until the last minute to complete your assignments. I would also suggest that if you do not understand something, do not be afraid to ASK or get help because that is where I went wrong before. I believe there is no stupid questions, so do not let anyone make you feel that way.

Hi Everyone! My name is Chelsea Powers. I have lived in Mobile, Al all of my life. I am a junior at the University of South Alabama, majoring in Elementary Education. I work for a family owned fabrication company where I perform the duties of an office manager. We make the parts on the umbilical’s that go on the bottom of the ocean floor for the oil field industry. I have a 9yr. old son and a 4yr. old step son. I am also on the PTO board at my son’s school. In our spare time we go to the country house in Tunnel Springs, Al. where we enjoy hunting. In the summer months if we are not on the river fishing we are out deep sea fishing.

In order to become an educator you really have to have a true calling for it. As everyone knows you do not become a teacher for the money or to get rich. Becoming a teacher is much more than that. Most of us take advantage of the resources we have for our children to learn and better their futures. I have spent time in the classroom a lot, and I am so surprised on how much things have changed since I was in school. Not only on how the material is taught but how much technology is used such as IPad’s and Smart boards.
