Hello hello!
My name is Megan Minor and I am a grad student at Liberty University. This page is centered around course work for Education 630: Technology Practices for Instructional Improvement.
A little bit about me...
I am from Dawsonville, Georgia near the north Georgia mountains. I have a husband, an almost two-year-old son, two dogs, a cat, and 26 kindergarten students! My husband and I are from Georgia, but spent the last four years living in North Carolina while he was in the Marine Corps. He got out last year and we were able to move back home, where I got a job teaching at the elementary school that I went to as a child! I absolutely love my job and look forward to expanding my abilities as an educator in this course.
Technology has become an essential part of education, even at the kindergarten level. This is especially true now that most of the nation is conducting online learning! As a teacher in the classroom, one of my favorite educational tools is Wixie. My students use Wixie to review what they have learned, present information, practice spelling and writing, and to show off their creativity! Teaching online in the recent weeks, my absolute favorite tool has been the Flippity website. We are recording daily lessons, read alouds, and class meetings, and Flippity has been a fun way to help my young students stay engaged! It enables me to easily create a virtual spin wheel where students can spin to find their activity for the day, or create a memory matching game with their sight words. Recently, I used it to create a hangman game where they had to play to discover their surprise activity! I am excited about the possibilities that technology provides educators, and I think that now is the perfect time to take this course and dive into technological tools that are helpful in education.
Thanks for visiting!
