Introduction

Hello one and all! I'm SUPER excited about this blog. It's my first adventure into "digital journaling"! Hopefully it will be one of many.

The purpose of this blog will mainly be an e-Portfolio for my IT 365. But intro first!

My name is Tiffany Flowers. That is my lovely baby brother who is in the U.S. Army. He's my heart, but back to me. I am a 24 year old misplaced Texan. My family moved from Decatur, Texas to Gulfport, Mississippi in 2007. I graduated from Gulfport High 2 years later then went to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) for 3 years. I graduated then took a year off from school. Fall 2013 I decided I wanted to finish and here I am now; Intro Block of the Elementary Education Program at the University of Southern Mississippi, Gulf Park Campus.

In grade school I always said, "I will NEVER be a teacher! I'm gonna do just what I have to do, then I'm GONE!"..... And here I am, pursuing my own dream as well as my parents. I will be a first generation college student, which is super exciting. I knew I wanted to pursue elementary education when I joined the children's ministry at my church. Amy Bosarge, one of the moms, was mainly the one pushing me and she has been such a great resource and mentor. I adore her.

I am pursuing endorsements in Mathematics and Spanish. Anything Spanish absolutely fascinates me, the language, different cultures, and peoples. I would love to share that enthusiasm with class full of minds hunger to learn.

As far as IT 365, this class will be an instructive guide in helping me effectively integrating technology into my future classroom. This Blogfolio will be a resource for me in the future to reference as I strive to implement technology use in my class.
