My name is Livia Morris and I am a high school US History teacher. This is my third year teaching and I love sharing my love for history with students!
My Learning Goals:
The first learning goal I am setting for myself involves my confidence in my "tech" skills. Right now, I would say my confidence level is at 20%. I literally feel nervous every time I have to use a new Web 2.0 tool and I know that's absolutely silly. I would like to become more comfortable with using the tools that I know I need in order to become an effective teacher/media specialist. Don't get me wrong, I love to learn new things, I just want the "worry" to go away, and confidence to replace it! During my first year teaching at Jefferson Co. High School, my department was given netbooks instead of textbooks. Looking back, I wish I had known more about utilizing technology in the classroom. I feel as though I definitely could have done more with the technology that was placed in my hands than I was able to at the time. Since starting this program I have learned a lot about utilizing technology, I just want to be more confident in using it!
The second learning goal I have set for myself is start developing my PLN to the best of my ability. I had to create a PLN for another class and I did everything I was supposed to for the assignment, I just wanted it to look cleaner. I hope to sharpen my skills and learn how to make things look "clean"!
My third learning goal is to share ideas with others and gain new ideas from my classmates and instructor that I can use in my own classroom.
