If I was being completely honest, I have always wanted to be a blogger. I love to write and share. But there has always been one thing holding me back... I am NOT tech-savvy. I nanny for a family, and the seven year old is always showing me how to turn on their TV so we can search GoNoodle's. So, if that tells you anything, I am in great need to learn from this course and improve and expand my technology use in the classroom and add more digital resources to my "future-teacher" list!
I've written a little "About Me" already on my blog where you can learn more about me and my interests. In short, I am a third year education student at the University of Regina. I am absolutely thrilled to hear that I will be in the classroom come March for my pre-internship (YIPEE)! Besides being a full time student, I nanny, tutor, sub as an Educational Assistant, and coach gymnastics for toddlers (it is legitimately the sweetest job, I get to teach little ones how to tumble, jump and swing). I am also a big Pinterest gal, I have so many boards with home, food, life, teaching and everyday inspiration. My partner and I are currently DIY-ing our house, it has been so fun... well, maybe not so much for him ;) but Pinterest has been our best friend throughout the process. I am also extremely close to my family and am a firm believer that family ALWAYS comes first. I have a Mom and Dad and one older brother (and a five pound pup, named Freddy). My parents are both teachers and have been for over 23 years (talk about rockstars!!). My parents always joke and say I grew up in a school/classroom since I was always at either my Mom or Dad's school on the weekends, as they were both actively involved in their school community. I would have to say I was influenced by them to take the education route in university and I am SO glad I never turned back. I 100% know this is where I am supposed to be in life and I just can't wait to see where teaching takes me! Join me on this journey. -H.

Great first blog post, Haley! I really like the style of your writing. You know how to engage the reader, which is something that will serve you well in your blogging endeavours. I know that using technology can be intimidating, but by the end of this course, you will be so "tech savvy" and have countless tools for your EdTech tool kit! Wonderful job including a photo with proper attribution as well as hyperlinks in your post. Next time, I encourage you to come up with a catchy title so that it entices your readers even more. Fantastic job on the assignment this week and I can't wait to read your future posts!
