An illustration (and TRUE incident!) of me and technology...Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Check out my pages on these sites!:
Pinterest
Pinterest is a way-too-addicting site where hobbyists of all sorts can search through different genres for new and exciting ideas, and "pin" them to their virtual corkboard! You can also install the Pinterest button with which one can read through anything in the blogosphere, push this button, and voila! You have made a pin onto your pinterest board!
This is my board:

I'm still getting used to this site, but basically you can search through different articles/links all over the web based on a key search word, find links you like and "add" them to your site. Pretty cool!

Picture Perfect
I really like the look of this classroom. Students are actively listening and engaging, the classroom looks colorful and exciting without being distracting, there seems to be a myriad of subjects being displayed around the room, and the teacher is creating a positive learning atmosphere for all her students. This is how I want my classroom to be!!
Introduction
Hello there!
My name is Taylor McAllister. I am a 20 year-old Southern Californian in my second year at Hofstra studying early education/special education. I believe that children have a very reciprocated way of learning where I as the teacher am taught just as much, if not more, than my students. I hope to teach either preschool, kindergarten, or special education, a kind of strange combination, I know; I also want to do it in another country, teaching English as a second language. In my experience, these students are highly underestimated, and will quite often surprise you. I want to teach these underestimated groups by challenging them and encouraging them to reach their fullest potential, while overcoming a language barrier. I plan to do this through integrating art and music into my lessons in a world where these programs are being cut left and right. I want to utilize new technologies to expose my students to new experiences and ideas. And I want to channel their inner child to reach their fullest level of intellect, self-realization, and creative expression, while mastering an understanding of another language and another culture.
