Prezi Feedback

Created with Padlet

My Prezi!

The intended audience of my Prezi would be future employers and parents of my students, possibly being shown during the open house at the beginning of the school year. In my Prezi I explain my background and why I want to be a teacher. I believe that it is important to have a relationship with the students but also to have a relationship with the parents of the students.

I love, love, love Prezi. I have been using Prezi for years and have completely abandoned using Powerpoint. I think that Prezi is more fun to watch and keeps people more engaged in what is being presented.

THREE AMAZING TEACHER BLOGS

                                                                                        http://4theloveofteaching.blogspot.com

4 the Love of Teaching is a great blog by a fifth elementary school teacher. She posts pictures of her classroom and activities she does with her students. This blog is very colorful and easy to navigate.

http://iteach2nd.blogspot.com/  

iTeach 2nd Grade is the blog of a second grade elementary school teacher. It is not as colorful as the 4 the Love of Teaching, however it is easy to use and has a very good layout. There are a lot of posts about what is going on in her classroom and activities going on in the school she teaches at.

                      http://www.pencilsbooksanddirtylooks.com/  

I picked this blog for several reasons. I loved the name, Pencils, Books, and Dirty Looks. As well as the amazing color scheme. But ultimately, the reason I think that this is a great education blog is because of the real world application of what she does and the many pictures she has of her students doing activities really adds dimension to her blog.

<--  THIS IS ME!

Camp Hamwi 2015

I am 21 years old and live in Grove City. I graduated in 2013 from Teays Valley,a very small high school in Ashville. In high school I was in Color Guard for four years and loved every second of it. Over the summer I am a camp counselor at Camp Hamwi, which is a week long summer camp for children with Type 1 Diabetes. I have been Diabetic for almost twelve years and this summer will be my sixth summer at Camp Hamwi!

Being a Type 1 Diabetic has greatly influenced my life including my decision to become a teacher. I was diagnosed three days before I started the fifth grade. After a week long stay in the hospital I had to start school late. During the fifth grade standardize testing my blood sugar was high and I needed to use the restroom. Because my 504 plan was not finalized I was not allowed to use the bathroom during standardized testing. My teacher at the time snuck me out of the classroom and that was when I realized I wanted to teach children and make a difference like she did for me.
