 WELCOME TO JBROW146'S WORLD

My name is Jennifer and I am currently wearing many hats. I am a wife, a mother, and a student. I have been married for 15 years, have three children (2 girls, 1 boy), and am owned by two cats and one dog. I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. After two years teaching in a Christian preschool, I am pursuing my Master's with teacher license. Obviously, I am currently having fun exploring the world of Wiki code. Fortunately, I like this shade of pink.

 PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

My philosophy of education is pretty elementary currently. I want to work with elementary age children, preferably kindergarten or Pre-K children. I know that I will be looking for ways to utilize technology in whatever classroom setting I find myself in. Technology needs to be integrated into the classroom setting as much of our daily lives is spent with some form of technology or another. Just take a look at your cell phones, hand held devices, PDA's, ipods, laptops, etc. Learning to use these devices with some modicum of ease is important for the generations to come. The classroom of the future can be global as the internet allows us to connect with people anywhere in the world with an internet connection. I envision projects where children communicate with children around the world and learn about their daily lives, families, culture, holidays, likes and dislikes, and friendships. Children will learn teamwork by working on projects together, whether it is playing a game to learn letters and numbers, or creating a web site about dolphins. The classroom of the future will bring students of all backgrounds together and hopefully encourage students to look at what they have in common and yet to not limit someone by a difference in mobility, language, or intelligence level.
