I quit my job three years ago with the intent of becoming a math teacher. Its been a slow road, but today I am starting the TCPCG (teacher certification program for college graduates) program at UCONN. Hopefully this time next year I will be certified to teach math. I'm anxious about the workload I have undertaken, but am excited to get this show moving a little faster. It will be quite a change for me to have classes all day four days a week this summer!
My first class is an education technology class with Professor Hale. I've always been a little bet of a computer geek, so I am excited to learn all about how I can use technology in my future classroom to help engage my students and make things more interesting for them. So far today we have learned a little bit about google docs, a tool I am already somewhat familiar with. We went over how to make surveys (they call it forms), something I didn't know google docs could even do. We have also set up blogs to track the trials and tribulations of this journey. Being a math person I am not much of a writer, but I look forward tracking this journey.
