About Me

My name is Daisy Haynes and I'm a junior at the University of Southern Mississippi. My major is Elementary Education. I graduated from Jones County Junior College with my Associates degree in Marketing and Management. I would love to teach kindergarten or either highschool, can't really see myself teaching anywhere in between. If I decide to teach kindergarten technology will play a part in the curriculum by inroducing the basics of a computer to the kids.  By the age of five, which is kindergarten age, most children have already had some exposure to technology in the home. As their teacher it would be my job to show them the benefits and positive aspects of using technology as a learning tool. As a highschool teacher without technology the class would probably be extremely boring. There would be no powerpoint presentations, no online work to do, no way to email last minute questions or discussions. Another really good point about technology is that it is good for the environment. With computers we can help to save trees. By posting assignments online and communicating online we are able to save paper. I believe that technology is a major part of education. In today's world, technology is key. From the time I was in kindergarten to now there has been a major growth spurt in technology education. I feel that without technology as a part of the education process the students will be lost.I am enrolled in IT365 and out class social network is http://it365yuen.ning.com/.
