grad. class post

Hello Ms. Feldman and class,
My name is Shelby Olson. I have been teaching for 10 years now. The first eight were for the Omaha Public Schools. I have been employed with Fremont Public for the past two years. I teach 7th grade English and love it. I am a graduate of Fremont, UNL in 2001, and now a proud Bobcat.
I tend to gravitate towards PCs, it's simply a personal preference. I have not been overexposed to Macs. Our summer course helped acclamate me to many of the features that technology can do to enhance my classroom. I have used this blog over this year, I regurlarly include Power Points, interactive and linear, and I've begun introducting Photo Story to my students to utilize for quarterly book studies.
I decided to complete my masters here at Peru for a couple of reasons. I appreciate the convenience of the on-line courses. I'm challenged, but all the goals are attainable. I was also open to Peru as my brother earned his undergraduate through this institution.
