Hello!
My name is Courtney Lynn Critchfield. I am currently a Freshman at the university of Edinboro. I Graduated from West Mifflin Area High School as the class of 2012. I'm from Pittsburgh so of course I love the Pittsbugh Steelers<3. I'm a member of Delta Zeta at Edinboro. My favorite color is pink. I'm obsessed with Zebra print and Pinterest! And one cool fact about me is that I LOVE to decorate! My dorm room has things everywhere and all over the walls. I decorate my living room for every season in the year. I probably waste a lot of money trying to make my dorm room look better. I can't wait to own a house someday:)
My Major at Edinboro is Early childhood education. Ever since I was a kid I've always imagined myself sitting at a desk in front of a classroom full of students. In this vision I imagined myself teaching kids. Children have always been my passion. Iv'e been surrounded by a large family all my life. I myself am an only child, but my aunt and uncle alone have 11 children! So i'm always helping out with whatever I can. I'm very excited to start my teaching career.
In this world we live in today we see technology everywhere around us. One of those places is in the classroom. I believe that technology in the classroom has its pros and cons. Some of the good things about it is that it makes accessing information easier. Another great point is that it can be used for various projects with the Powerpoint and word software. I believe that technology is a positive thing for both the student and the teacher in the classroom. In my future classroom I plan to use technology in various ways. One being PowerPoint everyday to outline what the plan is for the day. With technology you can use videos, blogs and even music to incorporate into lessons. 21st century students need technology in the classrooms because it's all they use. Technology should be embraced, not banned in schools.
