A little About Me

Hello everyone,
My name is Brigit Johnson and I am not a native of Mobile but have lived here since I was twelve so it is my home. My Dad retired from the Army, so I guess you could say I am an Army brat. I was born in El Paso Texas and have lived in Germany twice; I traveled quite a bit enjoyed learning about the different cultures and people of other nations. I look forward to being able to enjoy more adventures in the future. I am a single mother and have been for ten years and have tremendous support from my mother and family. My daughter Brooke keeps me busy and always has something new she wants to try. She is a full time Girl Scout and has fallen in love with archery; she is not that bad at it. My major is Special Education and I am very excited to finish and get the opportunity to actually work with children who have so much potential and need a good teacher to help them shine. I currently work as a call center representative and sitting behind a desk all day is not my idea of fun. I love to read and crochet. I was working part time at a Bridal Shop but decided two jobs and going to school full time was a break down waiting to happen. I know that God has called me to teach and I am so honored to be able to share my gift. I look forward to getting know my classmates and instructor and having a great semester.

Wikipedia is a popular, pop culture site that if you are in your teens you may feel is a reliable source, as a college student you should know better.

The information is quick and accessible and the the fact that the information can be changed is a thing of the past. New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

See You Later

You only say good bye to people you never plan to see again, this is more like see you later. I do not like the word Good bye it sounds so permanent. I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

No,No,No, there is no way to be an effective teacher and not be technologically savvy. I do not think that is the only way to reach a student, but it is a big part of reaching today's student. We do not live in a pencil and paper only society, students are doing and learning things online less positive than they should be exposed to and it is up to us to teach them ways to take a computer and further their education. I do not know of any teacher that has not advanced with the times and accepted computers as a positive way to instruct and reinforce what they are teaching. Every job requires technological skills and if we are grooming the futures work force environment we have to give the every chance we to be competitive in the workforce. School is the foundation for good success and the success includes computer knowledge on every level.
