**Few Facts about myself:**

 * 1) **Fact 1**: I am passionate about choral music, opera, musical theatre,and instrumental chamber music. I wish my students to feel the same joy.
 * 2) **Fact 2**: I live in a 1964 subdivision called Scarlet Oaks. The houses are nestled at the top of a bluff, and each house is unique. Our back yard, along with several others combined (no fences) create a beautiful park-like retreat. We are surrounded by woods and nature...and we are in the middle of town. We have seen up to as many as 35 turkeys at one time, and we have way too many deer.
 * 3) **Fact 3**: I used to be an avid gardener, but we have little sun up here, and there are many animals that eat what we plant!
 * 4) **Fact 4**: My husband is the violin professor at UNL. He makes the commute from CB to Lincoln and back 5-7 days a week because he loves Council Bluffs so much (and me). I was born and raised here and returned because my entire immediate family resides here.

I hope to discover ways to incorporate web 2 tools, social networking, and mobile learning into the classroom. This will be an unexpected bonus for my students. Right now, I depend upon students to set up technologies that we already have in place. The students are more than willing to do that, but if I can develop more knowledge and expertise, I feel my depth of planning will be improved greatly.
 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:**

Much to my husband's sadness, I do not enjoy any games, electronic or otherwise. I prefer hiking, mowing the lawn, gardening, reading, practicing, writing, listening to music and watching TV (when I find something interesting). I find games tedious, myself, but I do set them up in the classroom for the students
