My name is Heather. I am in the online MAT program at Western Oregon University, in which computer science education classes like this one are a requirement. I have a bachelors degree in cultural/linguistic anthropology. In the ten years since graduating I have been working in schools and finally decided to go back to school to be a social studies teacher for 6th through 12th grades. I live in the coast range on a small organic farm that my husband and I have been basically homesteading for the last ten years. My husband is also in school to be an agricultural science teacher and we have a 4 year old daughter. In the past we focused our farm on produce production. We are currently learning to raise our own animals.
I am hoping to learn more about blogging and how to create a blog. I would like to find ways to incorporate different technology tools into the classroom. So far I have thought of a "living" journal in a blog form for my future students to use.
