My Presentation

Here is the presentation I made to show my Educational Technology class, and any future employers, a little bit about myself, why I want to become a teacher, and what my future goals are as an educator. I chose to use Google Presentation for the project because it was a challenge for myself. I grew up using powerpoint presentation. I enjoyed using google presentation because it was easy to add videos and photos to my slides, animate my texts, and imbed it into my blog!

Three Great Teacher Blogs

Here are three great blogs from educators!

1. http://dublinmiddleschoolart.blogspot.com/

This is a Dublin middle school art teacher's blog. It has an awesome video that talks to the viewer about her teaching style, what she expects from her students, and what her students can expect from her this school year. She also shows off the art projects from her students, which are both creative and cute!

2. http://mrsjumpsclass.blogspot.com/

This is a first grade teachers blog! She talks about things she uses daily in the classroom, and answers questions from her readers!

3. http://oceansoffirstgradefun.blogspot.com/

This is another first grade teachers blog. This blog actually won the Best Teaching Resource 2012 award from the teaching channel. This blogger shows copies of worksheets she does in class, her ideas for projects, and much more!

Welcome to my Blog!

 Hello there and welcome to my blog!

Let me start off by telling you a little about myself. My name is Kendra Cox, and I am currently in my second year at Columbus State Community College. I am going to Columbus State to earn my Associates of Arts degree, then I plan on transferring to a four-year institution to obtain a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I am particularly interested in studying creativity in the classroom, and the process of Reading Recovery in Elementary schools. 

When I am not in a classroom I enjoy many different things. I enjoy making art, specifically sculpture. The most fun sculpture I have worked on was a life-sized superman made of plaster-gauze. I also enjoy art of architecture, drawing blueprints of houses and buildings. I also enjoy reading, I really loved the Hunger Games series-- but my favorite thing to read is a good memoir. I love to partake in recreational sports, such as soccer, basketball, softball, and rowing. A few other things I love are watching movies, making videos, and hanging out with close friends and family. 

I am interested in the field of Education for many reasons, but I will name a few. The first reason I want to enter the field of education is to work with kids who struggle with meeting the reading requirements of their grade, like I did for many years. The second reason I want to go into the teaching field is for all of the great teachers I had going through Hilliard City schools. I had teachers who taught me so much, inspired me, and guided me through my earliest years. I can not wait to return that inspiration, dedication, and relationships to my future students!
