My experiences with technology, thus far, have been related to my profession as an educator. I am a special education teacher, in my 7th year of teaching. Many of the projects, lessons and activities in my classroom support student learning in the areas of reading, writing, social skills and behavior modification. Fortunately, my elementary students (grades K -2) have access to a student computer, a classroom SMARTBoard and computer lab. Our daily technological activities include calendar SMARTBoard lessons, online educational games and word processing programs.
In addition to utilizing technology with my students, I also designed a classroom website: http://web.waynesville.k12.mo.us/east/Meliton-Paolicelli/Mrs._Paolicelli/Welcome.html
I have also taken a Web Design course through Drury, which has taught me a little about HTML. I look forward to learning as much as I can this semester, in the hopes of becoming a better educator.

Melissa I read your blog it seems you have as much experience as the average person today with technology. I’m sure you will do fine in this class. I have noticed that most of the Instructors use HTML to build websites, which are the building blocks for the internet, however now days; webmasters are using web authoring tools to build sites. We are going to attempt to incorporate this a little into our class this semester, along with sharping our skills as we write for the web. I sensed your disappointment in the Steelers; don’t feel so bad, I am a Cowboy fan. Hope we both have better luck next year.
