Hello!
I am a little late in doing this. As many of you know, I just started working at Mercy about two weeks ago. So, I will do my best to catch up with the previous things and jump in with the new ones!
As a new member of the Mercy faculty, I almost decided to opt out of 23 Things. What's the point when I'd be coming into a nine week program in the sixth week? However, I decided to challenge myself instead. I am going to be starting a Teaching Credential program in the Fall of 2011 and, as technology advances, so do teaching techniques! So I decided to dive in. I am, unfortunately, a little technologically challenged. Whatever things I learn here will hopefully help me to become more understanding of new technologies.
I used Blogger this past summer for a History class I took. I complained about using it a lot. I would have rather used a pen and paper for my notes, fostering my ignorance of technology, instead of blogging. However, my experience with Blogger during the summer helped me to set up my blog this time around with ease. It seems my History professor knew I'd be using Blogger in the future. I'm hoping with 23 Things, I will have a similar experience learning new things and applying them later.
Thank you to all who have been so welcoming during my first weeks at Mercy. I've appreciated the e-mails and introductions from everyone. I look forward to becoming a more active part of this community!
