Ah making a online portfolio!

This process has been scary , exciting and very rewarding! Putting together an online portfolio is tricky for me because I needed to be sure each part was there and saving correctly. Although I have been extremely overwhelmed , seeing it all  come together is such an AWESOME feeling! I am so grateful for Dr. Smirnova and her wonderful tips. These tips will not only make me a better teacher but also a better learner! I am so glad I took this course. In addition , it is so important to continue blogging. One of my good friends who has become a teacher has started a blog with her co-workers . This blog is so inspirational and makes me so very excited to someday have my own classroom and to be sure to blog all of my thoughts, experiences , fears and hopes! I am so glad I became a blogger and SO glad I have become more comfortable with the wonderful technology I have at my fingertips! This technology will be invaluable to me as a teacher and it something I must help my future students to become comfortable with is as well!


Mock Interview!

I loved the mock interview activity. I loved it because I believe we practiced a nerve wrecking activity with the comfort of our peers and professors. One may be an excellent candidate for teaching , but he or she must be capable of performing their best on an interview. In addition , it is so important to be prepared for the various types of questions and the best tools to have with you in order to look prepared and find success! MSMC does a wonderful job or preparing its students. The career center is filled with tips, tricks and tools! In addition , Dr. Smirnova helped my class to become more confident and prepared for our future job searching as well. In addition Pinterest and other resources has some great info! Check it out!!!
