Hello World!

Hello!
My name is Alison Inwood and I am in my final year at Michigan State University preparing for a career in special education. Part of my preparation involves becoming proficient in technological resources to use in the classroom.
Technology and I have had a rather tumultuous relationship. I have enough knowledge to get by in a technological world, but sadly not enough to be proficient or to add anything of substance to the web world. Thus the reason I am in the class "Technology in the classroom." I would like to learn how to harness the beast that is technology and use it as a tool to educate children in a personalized manner. I would also like to be able to teach my students how to use technology to enhance their own learning and to experience the world outside of their immediate environment.
